Why are cats fluid? [View all]

You've seen it in videos how cats have an incredible propensity to put themselves into the most compromising places. All they need is a gap and they will venture forward, sometimes to hilarious effect. I thought to myself, self, there has to be some reason for this and it occurred to me that they do this because their prey usually hides in the smallest orifices, so they boldly go where no dog has gone before.

So, am I right?
