Cats sitting in circles

Ok, I had to google this to see what on earth you are talking about!

Saw this in the Daily Mail and admit I'm baffled?? 

Cats are attracted to circles, seemingly without choice - Daily Mail 

"If you've spent hours patiently trying to teach your puss to perform tricks then the latest online pet craze could be one for you.

Cat Circles, where cats are drawn to a makeshift circle, sit down in the middle of it and then refuse to move, are being recreated all over the world by plain old moggies who seemingly can't pass by a circle without being irresistibly drawn to it."

That's it now, I need to try this out on our cat and see if it works!

Might be being a little bit picky here, but when I was at school they called the above shape a heptagon

My cats prefer rectangular shapes, either my bed or my chair.......

Dang it - you beat me to it Barney ! 

Definitely that isnt a circle!

Mine prefers sitting/lying & sleeping as high up my chest as she can get!

Hmmm, good point, not the most convincing circle!

I don't know what spooky do powers are at work here, but ever since I read this thread, our cat has suddenly taken to parking herself on my daughters school book bag, which is rectangular!
