Five house cats face down a maze they can’t actually see.

South Korean creator Claire, known to millions through her Kittisaurus and Cream Heroes channels, built her felines a new puzzle in December 2019: a hallway maze made entirely of transparent barriers. The setup follows the same “invisible wall” trick that made her earlier upload go viral, only this time the cats have to find their way through a full corridor of unseen dead ends rather than just one blocked doorway. The result is six minutes of pure feline reasoning on display, cat by cat.

• The maze is built from clear household materials like cling wrap or tape stretched across a hallway, not painted acrylic glass, despite claims describing it otherwise.
• Five of Claire’s cats — DD, TT, LuLu, MoMo, and ChuChu — each take their own approach to the barriers, from cautious paw-testing to full leaps.
• The video builds directly on the viral success of Kittisaurus’s earlier “Cats vs Invisible Wall,” extending the format into a full “Cats vs” obstacle series.

Maze Mechanics Explained

Despite some claims floating around that Claire’s mazes use acrylic glass hand-painted with invisible, non-toxic paint, the “Cats vs Invisible Maze” setup is far simpler and far more accessible: stretched cling wrap or clear tape forms see-through corridors and dead ends across a hallway or room. It’s the same low-tech, high-payoff gag that has defined the invisible-wall format since it first spread across the internet — a barrier the camera can barely register but that a cat’s whiskers and paws pick up on immediately.

The genius of the format is that it turns an ordinary hallway into a genuine spatial puzzle without a single dollar spent on a custom-built prop. Claire places treats or herself at the far end, and the cats have to figure out — using sight, scent, and touch — which “walls” are real air and which are actually there.

Five Cats, Five Strategies

What makes the video work is the cast. DD, TT, LuLu, MoMo, and ChuChu are already familiar faces from Claire’s Cream Heroes channel, and each one attacks the maze with a distinct personality. Some cautiously bat at the clear barrier with an outstretched paw before committing to a direction. Others seem to clock the trick almost instantly, sniffing out the actual open pathway and padding through without hesitation.

Then there are the bolder cats — the ones who don’t bother testing anything and just go for it, leaping at the translucent wall or shoving straight through it to get to the treats or to Claire on the other side. That range of reactions, cautious versus reckless, calculating versus impulsive, is the real engine of the video’s appeal; it’s less about the maze itself and more about watching five different problem-solving styles collide with the same obstacle.

Some cats test the invisible wall paw-first, some sniff out the real path immediately, and some just barrel straight through it.

Riding the “Cats vs” Wave

“Cats vs Invisible Maze” didn’t arrive out of nowhere — it’s a direct follow-up to “Cats vs Invisible Wall,” the upload that helped cement Kittisaurus’s obstacle-course format as one of the most reliably viral setups in cat content. By December 2019, Claire had effectively built a recognizable series out of testing her cats against simple, camera-friendly household tricks, and the maze was the natural next step: more barriers, more decision points, more chances for each cat’s personality to show through.

That instinct-versus-obstacle dynamic isn’t unique to cats, either — anyone who’s watched footage of animals working out an unfamiliar challenge, like a dog bred for speed sizing up open terrain or wild animals reacting to unfamiliar threats, knows the appeal: you’re watching raw instinct try to solve a problem in real time, and every animal solves it differently.

Claire’s cats didn’t get a rematch against a tougher maze in this particular upload, but the format’s built for sequels — “Cats vs Invisible Wall” begat “Cats vs Invisible Maze,” and the pattern suggests DD, TT, LuLu, MoMo, and ChuChu weren’t done being tested yet.
