Default For Those of You Who Have Cats

I recently read an article that was very interesting. Scientists have discovered that if you create a circle that is large enough, your cat will sit inside it. They aren't exactly sure what causes this phenomenon. It doesn't matter what the circle is made of. Bananas, tape, yarn, belts... anything. Would those of you who own cats please try this yourself and if possible, take a photo of your cat sitting in the circle and post it here? And by the way, a ferret is a cat, and the circle experiment works the same for them.

This is going to be one fun thread to watch. Can't wait to see the pics. I had a cat who always liked to lay in the round bathroom sink.

I have 3 cats. I'll try this over the next day or so with various stuff and see what they do.

We don't have cats right now, so will wait to hear updates from those of you who do and try this out. So interesting.

No cats, I have 2 dogs who might stir themselves enough to watch me make a circle...or not. They wouldn't sit IN it, but would sit ON it if they thought I didn't want them to...

No more kitties here (very sad) as I just lost my last one on Dec. 23.

But I will be watching this to see the responses (and pictures).
