A solution

The Overlap of Cats

The solution to the puzzle lies in overlap. Imagine that each cat occupies a space in one of the corners, but they do not occupy the same space at the same time. One cat sits in one corner at one time, while the other cat occupies a different corner at a different time. It's as if they take turns in the corners of the room.
