Cartoon of cats at an Olympic medal ceremony: a striped cat in a blue jacket places a medal on a grey cat in a red jacket on the top podium step, while a cat on the second step looks on, with a crowd of cats behind and the Olympic rings above.

Can absolutely confirm. Every two hours, like clockwork.

Meme of a fold-eared tabby kitten looking at the camera, with white overlaid text reading: 4 years ago I lived in a bush and hunted my own meals. Now I have 2 passive incomes, my own house, & a personal chef. Follow me for more financial advice.

If I go to bed and leave the basement light on, it shines in under the door into the living room, forming a perfectly-collimated, one-inch-high plane of light across living room floor. The floor is too oblique to be lit, so it's pitch dark, but anything on the floor has a one-inch-high, impossibly-bright highlight around its base.

So when I get up in the middle of the night to use the loo, I am greeted by dim fuzzy blackness with four glowing bright paws padding around:

A dark, blurry cat walking across a dim floor, with four glowing bright paws lit by a thin strip of light along the floor.

And each paw reflects a little pool of light onto the floor around it.

♫ Glow Beans, Glow Beans, Glow Beans, Glow Beans,
Your tiny paws have got me wrapped, my friend. ♫

Managed to get a pic. Came out both worse and better than I expected.
(She sat still long enough that it isn't just a blur, but it looks way better when she's standing on her four paws.)

Very dark, blurry night photo of a black cat on a dark tiled floor, with glowing reflections on its paws and the edge of its tail.

When you come out of the bedroom without your glasses, and you just see blackness with these four glowing paws, it is quite an effect.

Can @DaveC426913 relate to this, I wonder?

I walked by a store window where I saw this bag, so I took a shot of it:

Real life examples of jokes I've posted before in this thread:

Explanation: Some cats have a tendency to follow their owners into the bathrooms, or sit outside the bathroom while it is occupied. All of the four cats I've had did this.
