在菲律宾，人们发现流浪猫占据了市场附近的圆圈标记

Apparently, cats are great at following coronavirus quarantine rules and regulations (though we know they just love sitting inside of circles). And here we thought that they’re rebels at heart. A group of stray cats was spotted occupying social distancing markers on the sidewalk in one Quezon City market street, in the Philippines.

显然，猫很擅长遵守冠状病毒检疫规定(尽管我们知道它们只是喜欢坐在圈内)。在这里我们认为它们的内心是反叛的。在菲律宾奎松市的市场街，人们发现一群流浪猫占据了人行道上的社交标志。

The white circles painted on the ground are meant to help people stay at least 1 meter apart and to reduce the spread of Covid-19. Photos of the cats acting socially responsibly drew a lot of internet users’ attention and people complimeownted them for being disciplined. Unlike some people out there who might think that the pandemic has nothing to do with them.

画在地上的白色圆圈是为了帮助人们保持至少1米的距离，并减少新冠病毒的传播。猫咪表现出社会责任感的照片吸引了很多网友的注意，人们纷纷称赞它们遵守了规则。不像有些人可能认为大流行与它们无关。

The cats stayed inside the circles for around 10 minutes. This group of felines usually comes here looking for food

猫在圆圈里待了大约10分钟。这群猫科动物通常来这里寻找食物

The world learned about the circle-marker-loving cats after Quezon City local Coleen posted photos she took on her Facebook account. That’s when the meowsome pics went viral and were even featured on the news.

在奎松市当地居民科琳将她在脸书上拍摄的照片上传后，全世界都了解了这些喜欢用圆圈做标记的猫。就在那时，喵星人的照片迅速走红，甚至上了新闻。

Coleen told Bored Panda that the first time she saw that the cats were occupying the circles, they stayed there for around 10 minutes. She thought it was so amazing, she decided to take a few photos of them. “I took the photos on May 10 and these cats are just roaming around the public market where our vegetable store is located at. That was the first time I saw cats sitting in the circles,” she said.

科琳告诉Bored Panda网站说，她第一次看到这些猫占据这些圆圈的时候，它们在那里待了大约10分钟。她觉得这太不可思议了，于是决定给它们拍几张照片。“我是在5月10日拍的这些照片，这些猫就在我们蔬菜店所在的公共市场里游荡。那是我第一次看到猫坐成一圈，”她说。

The cats keep coming back looking for food

猫总是回来找吃的

While we like to think that cats are silently mocking us by showing us how to follow quarantine regulations properly, the truth is, felines love being inside circles and squares. It’s a survival instinct.

虽然我们喜欢认为猫通过向我们展示如何正确地遵守隔离规定来无声地嘲笑我们，但事实是，猫喜欢呆在圆圈和正方形里面。这是一种生存本能。

Cat behaviorist Mieshelle Nagelschneider from The Cat Behavior Clinic told Inverse that cats are drawn to enclosed spaces because hiding is both a predatory and a predator-aversion instinct.

猫行为诊所的猫行为学家Mieshelle Nagelschneider告诉Inverse说，猫会被吸引到封闭的空间里，因为躲藏既是一种掠食者的本能，也是一种厌恶掠食者的本能。
