I knew an octopus could shrink to the size of a small can but didn't know cats could....

1. Cats are actually made of a form of matter that is basically a liquid.

One of the characteristics of liquids is that they assume the shape of their containers. Cats do this all the time.

Cat physics is different from regular physics.

4. "Cat physics is different from regular physics"

:rofl:

Very true

[krispos42]

11. I think cats have bones they can control the stiffness of.

Something like cartilage instead of actual rigid bone. And they can just ooze their way into tight openings.

2. Oh. Do you have video of that poor kitty getting out?

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Cats also have the ability to grow enormously to take up all free space on the bed.

5. In the dark, on a bed with a human, a cat assumes the approximate dimensions

of a water buffalo.

6. That's the normal size of my cat

can you imagine when he stretches out? He's a ragdoll and he's just a giant-mutant cat.

17. Evie gets bigger at night

It's weird. I have postulated that she absorbs her shadow's mass to accomplish that feat, but frankly, I'm going to have a heck of a time proving that one. :P

[Ikonoklast]

19. Cats can also arbitrarily change their apparent mass at will.

Jumping from kitchen floor to coutertop: .1 gram.

Sitting on my legs while in recliner: 225 kilograms.

9. They can also find the dead center of the bed and then grow to four feet long

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. I really worry about this cat --

[krispos42]

10. That is way funnier than it should be!

:rofl:

12. Been there, done that.

13. An Engineer's Guide to Cats does not deal with cat volume

At least not for this application.

14. Love it!

Watched that while drowning out Joe Miller's (the local tea party whack job) press conference.




He just said he wanted the Democrats to join his campaign.


:puke:

[csziggy]

18. Their other videos are fun, too

Not many engineers have that good of a sense of humor.

These days I am not watching much news - I try to, but turn away anytime Palin or any of the Tea Baggers show up. That means I even miss seeing a lot of The Ed Show, Olbermann, Rachel and other good shows since they seem fixated on talking about the nutjobs. :shrug:

15. Cats are not of this earth. nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. I just love your puma, my dear Skip Intro!

It's so beautiful, and graceful!
