How To Trap A Cat In 3 Easy Steps

Learning about a cat’s behavioral psychology is a never-boring task that every cat owner absorbs when they live with these fluffs. Cats love to follow us to the bathroom because they want to protect us from the ‘devil’, cats usually bring the dead small critters to us because they think those are presents and they just want to give us, they also usually urinate to mark their territory and to make peace instead of putting a fight on fire. There are so many more interesting things that come inside their head, like this one particular challenge below.

Step 1: Set the trap

Some Reddit and Imgur users have joined to the challenge: how to trap a cat in 3 steps. Surprisingly, they were all trapped. By creating or just pulling out a circle on the ground, the cats would definitely sit still inside it. After that, a flood of photos of cats fit in a circle have arisen, and people started to discuss what was the reason behind it.

Basically, cats are attracted to safety, a limited space would be a good place for them to sit in as cardboard.

Step 2: Lure the ferocious beast

Atlanta-based certified cat behavior consultant Ingrid Johnson pointed out two general reasons.

“I would imagine they probably feel as if they are ‘in’ something … like laying in a cardboard canned food tray. Though shallow, still comforting, offer parameters or at least the perception of sides.” – She says.

Johnson also exposed that cats can’t have a good vision when something is so close to them, so the tape or the cord is what a cat might not see.

“Their vision is built for distance and speed, watching a mouse run across the field.” – She said.

“Close up they’re virtually blind 8 to 12 inches off their muzzle.”

Step 3: Gloat over your victory

Another reason is quite obvious: the cat’s curiosity. They are extremely inquisitive to every corner of the house, they have an adventurous character which drives them sensitive about something new or different.

“Cats are very good at noticing new things, especially on the floor.” – Rhode Island certified animal behaviorist Katenna Jones explained.

“Most cats, if you place a cup on the floor, they’ll check it out. If you place a pen on the floor, they’ll check it out. If you place a bar of soap on the floor, they’ll check it out. You may not see this ‘sit on the square’ behavior in very fearful kitties because they aren’t confident enough to check it out.”
