Ash the cat selects the Kanizsa square stimulus in other words, the illusion of a square in a new study in which pet owners provided the data.
If you ve spent any time around cats, you ve probably noticed that they love to curl up in small, cozy boxes. What you may not know is that they ll also go sit inside the two-dimensional outline of a square box on the floor. What s more, a new study has found that pet cats will also spontaneously sit inside an optical illusion that merely looks like a square.

They’ll gladly occupy your laundry basket, suitcase, or even the kitchen sink. Scientists are still debating why exactly felines seem to enjoy squeezing inside a box so much, but this behavior seems hardwired.
A new study, based on a citizen science project performed during the COVID lockdown, found that cats will even sit inside an illusionary 2-d box, consisting of the outline of a square on the floor.
