honestly, Im kinda scared about him finding something where he would fit so well he would get stuck

His whiskers are pretty informative to him about where he fits, I bet his head went in first to confirm

yeah his brain is programmed that way but he is a little bit fat

If his head fits his butt surely will fit. - cat logic

Also, a generally accurate assumption. Cat's head size are usually their limiting factor for fitting through a gap!

Cats are all pudgy middle-aged men looking at the high-school football uniform in their closets and thinking they'll still fit into it.

Cats don't tend to trap themselves by squishing into a hole they can't squish back out of.

What a cat will do is stick his head in a tissue box and then lacks the dexterity to pull it off.

No they typically don’t. But if you hear panicky movement, do check.

I had a cat somehow stuck behind the washer, stuck head first in an hand stand and couldn’t back out. No meows, just occasional scratchy sounds. Had to gently retrieve by tail :(.

once found my cat stuck to a curtain screaming for help
I saved him and he hasn't done it since.
Cats are weird. How does his stupid little brain work?
