3.51

cikraṃsayā kṛtrimapattripaṃṅkateḥ kapotapālīṣu niketanānāṃ /
mārjāramapyātaniścalāṅkaṃ yasyāṃ janaḥ kṛtrimameva mene //

Where, because a cat kept its limbs completely motionless / on the pigeon-cotes of the dwellings in order to seize the flock of artificial birds, / the people thought it was merely an artificial cat.
