Cat Physics

[YosemiteSam]

Ever wonder how a cat can always land on it's feet even though it appears to defy Newton's Law that says a body in motion stays in motion?

Don't say it uses it's tail as a counter balance. While that is possible, bobtail cats (cats with no tail) can do it too.

You ever want to mess with a cat take a sock and tie it around the waist (loosely not to hurt it) the cat can not walk straight and its but will fall down.

Cool stuff... strap a piece of buttered toast to his back then get back to me...

It's like dividing by zero...

I'll be damned. That actually worked. My cat could only take about four steps with his hindquarters really low, then fell over.

Cats are apparently control subjects...
