h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

During a recent research project, again with the BB Feline Federation, leading experts determined that three legged cats eat less food than four legged cats? They managed to determine that the body weight of the cat could largely be ignored and did not contribute to the findings. What were their findings?

Because 3-legged cats have more difficulty hunting for those occassional snacks like mice than 4-legged cats?

They keep falling over when they put one leg through a to pick it up

3 cats always eat more than 4, right?

Three cats eat less than four, whether they are legged or not. The point should go to tdbiii even though he said "more" by accident.

I obviously meant less.

3 cats (legged or not) eat less than 4 cats (legged or not).
3 humans also eat more then 4 humans....

less

as you all can see I am having a wonderful day! Gee and it is only starting, it will end in tears I guess....

more or less..

I know of a cat that will easily eat more than 3 or 4 cats put together. It's very fat.

As there are more four legged cats than three legged cats the latter eat less. For the same reason black sheep eat less than white sheep.

Similarly, cats eat more in July than in February...

Ignore the bodyweight?
I suppose 3 lions eat more than 4 housecats!

I think their findings were invalid but mostly harmless.

their finding were that three legged cats eat less food than four legged cats, as you said that's what they determined.

their findings were highly accurate. assuming that these were cats doing the research.

Their findings were probably that after the research project, their lab was stinking of catpiss.

Besides, "Leading experts" may know about blocked plumbing, stripping church roofs, or even typesetting, but what gives them the right to pronounce on the eating habits of cats? Misleading experts is what I call them. Give me someone who eats in Chinese restaurants any day. I want my facts from a cat-eating expert, not a leading expert.

I was going to say something, but Wumbeevil is just too hard an act to follow.

Anyway, I think I'll say it because no one else has so far. Their findings were nil because the cats had eaten it all.
