Some cats have odd rituals that no human will ever understand, and some of them do it in odd patterns that can later be written in stone. A great example is this cat owned by a Reddit user who took to the said website to share what their cat was doing on a daily basis.
Step 1: Find a target
Step 2: Walk aggressively toward the target
Step 3: Forget why you needed a target in the first place
Step 4: Clean your little paws instead
It does seem to be a fool-proof routine. The best part about this routine is that no animal or person is harmed in the process, as the cat opts to play with its paws rather than attack anybody.
