Cats are notorious for parking themselves in boxes of varying shapes and sizes. But their favourite remains anything that resembles a square.&nbsp;Social media is flooded with videos of cats spending hours in cardboard boxes lying stray in their homes and the odd satisfaction it brings to the felines.

Most caretakers also find it difficult to remove cats from these boxes, sometimes subjected to their claw treatment. #CatSquare trended heavily on social media in 2017 when multiple cats parked themselves in squares which were drawn on floors using tape.

Now, a new study may help us understand why cats love sitting in all things square! Published in “Applied Animal Behaviour Science”, the study claims that cats love to sit in 2-D shapes that resemble the shapes of a square, reported first by Gizmodo. The study is titled “If I fits I sits: A citizen science investigation into illusory contour susceptibility in domestic cats”.

The study’s co-author Gabriella Smith told Gizmodo that they were looking to understand whether felines would sit in a box that would essentially be an illusion and not an actual square to understand the phenomena better.

Cats caught in the act

To achieve this, an experiment was created urging pet owners to create the illusion of square-like shapes by using basic materials like paper and tape. They then created corners without sides, referred to as “Kanizsa Square Illusion” in the science community. This provides the watcher with the illusion of edges in the absence of any shape to create fake squares.

It can be best compared to what the famous game Pac-Man looks like, with illusory corners of a square being fed to the cat’s eyes. Owners were then asked to place these fake squares along with real squares across the house. A third category of a misshaped fake Kanizsa was also deployed. To prevent any influence, even in the form of eye contact, owners were urged to wear sunglasses if they were directly observing the cats, ScienceAlert reported.

The researchers wanted to see whether cats were spending at least three seconds in any of these objects and tested 400 cats for the same. Over six days, only 30 cat owners were to complete their experiment.

Out of these 30 cats, nine cats consistently sat in one of the shapes. They sat on the regular square eight times, the Kanizsa “fake square” seven times, and its misshapen derivative&nbsp;only once.

Essentially, what this reveals is that cats chose the illusory square as much as the real square, meaning they’re susceptible to the same thing experienced by humans when it comes to 2-D objects. Just like us, they chose 2-D shapes not for the space it inhabits&nbsp;but for its sides, and perhaps the sense of comfort it brings to us... or the illusion of it at the very least!

The movie musical 'Cats'&nbsp;on Monday dominated the Razzie Awards for the worst movies of 2019, winning six trophies including worst film, screenplay and director. 
 
The results capped a dismal performance for the big-screen adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber`s hit stage show 'Cats.' 
 
The movie, with an all-star cast including Judi Dench, Taylor Swift and Idris Elba, who were&nbsp;costumed in digitally-produced fur, was ridiculed by critics and proved a box office flop, taking in just $70 million (£57.10 million). 
 
The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, or Golden Raspberries, were created in 1980 as an antidote to Hollywood’s awards season. Nominees were announced in February, a day before the Oscars, the highest honours in the movie industry. 
 
Razzie nominees and winners are voted for online by around 1,100 Razzie members from more than two dozen countries, who sign up online and pay a $40 membership fee. 
 
The six Razzie awards for 'Cats'&nbsp;included supporting actor wins for James Corden and Rebel Wilson. Tom Hooper was named worst director.&nbsp;

'Cats' wins six Razzie Awards for 'worst films'

The widely panned movie musical "Cats" and four of its stars were nominated on Saturday for Razzie awards, an annual ritual that lampoons the worst of cinema. 
 
James Corden, Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson, and Francesca Hayward received Razzie acting nominations for their 'Cats'&nbsp;roles, in which they were costumed in digitally created fur. 
 
Oscar-winner Dench was singled out for "looking suspiciously similar to The Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz," organizers said in a statement announcing this year's nominees. 
 
Overall, 'Cats' was given eight Razzie nominations, tying for the lead with Tyler Perry's 'A Madea Family Funeral',&nbsp;and Sylvester Stallone's 'Rambo: Last Blood'.&nbsp;All three movies are in the running for worst picture, alongside psychological thriller "The Fanatic" and horror flick "The Haunting of Sharon Tate." 
 
'Cats', an adaptation of the popular Broadway musical of the same name, was released in December and drew widespread ridicule from film critics. The $95 million production flopped at the box office, taking in just $69.7 million at theaters worldwide, according to website Box Office Mojo. 
 
The tongue-in-cheek Razzies, created in 1980, serve as an antidote to Hollywood’s glitzy Academy Awards ceremony. Nominees were announced a day before the bestowing of the Oscars, the highest honors in the movie industry. 
 
John Travolta received two Razzie nominations this year for 'The Fanatic'&nbsp;and 'Trading Paint',&nbsp;as did Anne Hathaway for 'The Hustle'&nbsp;and 'Serenity'. Her 'Serenity'&nbsp;co-star Matthew McConaughey also was named. 
 
The worst screen combo category piled on 'Cats'&nbsp;with a nomination for "any two half-feline/half-human hairballs." 
 
It was not all bad news. Eddie Murphy was nominated for the Razzie Redeemer Reward for his role in 'Dolemite is My Name',&nbsp;along with Jennifer Lopez in 'Hustlers'&nbsp;and Adam Sandler in 'Uncut Gems'.&nbsp;The redeemer award goes to a past Razzie nominee or winner who has recently earned acclaim.

Organizers have not unveiled a date for the announcement of the winners.

Taylor Swift reveals how it felt like shooting for 'Cats' and future acting prospects

Singer Taylor Swift surprised fans with new music from the upcoming musical fantasy drama 'Cats'&nbsp;ahead of its release date. On Friday at midnight, the 29-year singer released her new original song, 'Beautiful Ghosts', from the upcoming Tom Hooper directorial Tony-winning musical, reported a&nbsp;magazine. 
 
The haunting melody,&nbsp;which she co-wrote with the musical's legendary composer, Andrew Lloyd Webber speaks to a feeling of longing to be wanted and reminiscing on better memories. 
 
In the ballad, Swift is given an opportunity to show off her impressive pipes beyond her typical country-pop style, and the star certainly delivers. While the entire song is chillingly-beautiful, it's the final note of the song that Swift belts that genuinely stands out among the rest. 
 
"All that I wanted was to be wanted too young to wander London streets, alone and haunted/Born into nothing/At least you have something to cling to," she can be heard singing.&nbsp;"Visions of dazzling rooms I'll never get let into/and the memories were lost long ago/but at least you have beautiful ghosts".&nbsp;&nbsp;

A behind-the-scenes video showed Swift, Lloyd Webber and Oscar winning director Tom Hooper in the recording studio, as well as snippets of Hayward in the film.
