Affectionately termed “if I fits I sits,” the urge to sit in small spaces is well-known in cats! The reason for this is still unknown but is clearly highly desirable. In fact, cats deprived of shelters will hide behind or underneath boxy objects (@NadineGourkow01 & Fraser, 2006).
The "if I fits I sits" phenomenon is an excellent tool to study visual perception of contours & offers insight into vision in cats! This study explored cats’ susceptibility to the Kanizsa illusion via their tendency to sit in enclosed spaces & determine if they see the illusion!
