These stray cats were spotted occupying the circle marks intended for the implementation of social distancing protocols in front of a store in Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City on Sunday amid enhanced community quarantine.

1. I proved the theory about cats and circles,

by leaving a vacuum cleaner cord arranged in a circle on the floor. Within minutes, my older cat, Lili, was sitting inside the circle!

10. I wonder if that connects cats to witches..............

Wiccans' circle is a most essential ceremonial element. Couldn't keep the cats out of the procedures, so they claimed them?

3. I know my cats are drawn to small boxes, but circles?

I learn something new every day! Thank you, demmiblue.

4. It makes me sad to see

so many strays. They all deserve a good, loving home. Cats respond to love, just like dogs do.

6. These strays appear to be

pretty well fed and relaxed amongst the hoomans. To my untrained eye that is.

11. They do that with squares, too:

Most cat parents know that if you draw a square on the floor, your cat is going to come running and sit in it. While this behavior is endearing, it is also a little strange.

Why do cats like to sit in squares?

"The simple answer is that it makes them feel secure and safe. The cat's perception is that a square is a box without walls. The area provides security and comfort to the cat even though it is misplaced," says Michelle Burch, DVM.

20. You're reminding me of Heinlein's "The Door Into Summer"

The central character's cat in that novel.

14. Cats (I have 2) are very self-centred.

They love to be admired (shades of ancient Egypt?) and perhaps instinctively know that if they sit in a circle, square, hexagon, octagon or whatever, they will be noticed and admired.

Just my theory, for what it's worth!!!

15. Cats know they need to social distance.

They can catch it too.
