For those who have feline companions at home, the quirky behavior of cats is often a shared experience. These peculiar creatures seem to have an uncanny ability to squeeze themselves into various gaps and containers, leading many to jokingly assert that "cats are liquid." Recently, a Japanese Twitter user named 雨と雪之丞 (@5711Nakasin) shared a delightful experiment involving their cat and an aquarium, which quickly gained traction online.
The Experiment
The owner purchased a fish tank in hopes of seeing if their cat would enjoy living in such a confined space. To everyone's delight, the plump cat, affectionately referred to as "cat king," nestled into the small round aquarium, showcasing an irresistibly cute demeanor that captured the attention of numerous netizens, turning it into a viral sensation.
Meet the Cats
This Twitter account features two cats: Yukinojo (a white female cat) and Ame (a brown male cat). The owner frequently shares snippets of their daily lives. After introducing the fish tank to Yukinojo, it became evident that she loved her new cozy spot, quickly claiming it as her own. The owner even documented Yukinojo's first encounter with the aquarium, which showed her cautiously exploring before finally settling in.
Why Do Cats Love Small Spaces?
Many cat owners can relate to the mystery of why their pets are drawn to small and enclosed spaces. This behavior is often attributed to their instinctual need for security and comfort. Cats tend to feel safe when they can hide away from potential threats, making containers like boxes or tanks ideal for them.
A Fun Suggestion
For fellow cat lovers, why not try introducing your feline friend to a fish tank? You might just discover that they too enjoy the snugness of such an environment!
