Yes, that's right. You just thought they were cute. Well it seems your cats have can benefit society in other ways as well!

Strapping toast to a cat could be amusing on it's own. Kitties are very entertaining. I painted my cat with highlighter markers today. She was bugging me while I was studying so I made her little white paws into easter eggs.

:smile: that's hilarious..."easter eggs"...I've never painted my cat before but it's really funny to put some tape on my cat and see him go and spin in circles to get it off...very funny to be exact... my cat's too smart to get fooled by his reflection in the mirror though. And a final thing b/c I love talking about my kitty..it's interesting how he knows that it's you waving the cat toy at the end of a string..(he'll look at the toy then look at your hand with a look that says I know it's you)


After seeing that you tube clip...goodness do people have that much time to analyze things...it's funny how he made it sound all scientific and everything...:smile:

The fatal flaw to this plan is that it mistakenly assumes that it is a repulsive force that causes the cat to land feet first and the toast to land butterside down. When, in fact, it is the attractive nature of cat feet and butter that causes the effect.

Thus by combining these two effects you are in fact doubling the attractive force. If the effects are equal in magnitude they will balance and the cat will simply land very hard on its side.

"I know it's you, silly human. But I will now proceed to pounce and swat with wild abandon just to humor you."

I'm amazed cats never evolved eyebrows. I'm sure they would regard us with one raised, if they had them.

O c'mon now, your just making up physics! I was trying to talk real science here Janus!:biggrin:
