How To Trap A Cat In 3 Easy Steps

156

ADVERTISEMENT

The Internet is collectively performing a study on cat behavioral psychology, and all of us (and our cats) can participate! After a few users on Reddit and Imgur noticed that their cats are attracted to circles, submissions poured in of other cat owners trying these low-tech traps on their feline friends.

One possible reason some of these cats might be attracted to these circles is their need for safety. Cats love small and secure spaces, so even the suggestion or illusion of one may prove more appealing than wherever they are at the moment.

    Not true. Although they are presumed rare, there are male calico cats. I have 1 that comes up on my porch every day to eat my other cat's food. Yes, I do know for a fact that it is a male.

    I discovered a fur-magnet. Place a small carpet doormat at strategic locations, and cats will pile on….leaving their molt behind.

    Will this work on big cats? Say I'm on a safari gone wrong. Could I potentially save myself from a tiger attack by drawing a ground circle?

    Not true. Although they are presumed rare, there are male calico cats. I have 1 that comes up on my porch every day to eat my other cat's food. Yes, I do know for a fact that it is a male.

    I think anything novel on the floor a car may go to. I think you need to present multiple objects in various shapes to really evaluate.

    Will this work on big cats? Say I'm on a safari gone wrong. Could I potentially save myself from a tiger attack by drawing a ground circle?

    The first cat and the 3rd cat are both female for sure.

    The cat in the first picture is a she not a he. It's very rare for there to be a male calico.

    This was my first time attempting to add an image and it isn't showing up? Is there a time delay? Just curious how this works.

    I think these cats have trained their 'owners' to put that circle where the cats want it!

    You can get a similar result by tossing a magazine, book, or piece of paper on the floor. They "claim" it in short order!
