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

It occurs to me that the possible applications of this feline/curry based technology are far wider than you appear to have anticipated. There is a possibility of a move into the lucrative home leisure and sports market. This is acheived by modifying the game of ice hockey (mice hockey?). Instead of skates you develop individual feline based footwear by fitting each masala smeared moggy with velcro straps thus permitting one to be attached to the underside of each foot. Obviously there is an immediate problem here, ice will not have a high enough porosity value to stain easily. Instead, to borrow from your monorail idea, the rink would have to be carpeted with a nice light colured axminster. If this was reinforced by several layers of a thick, soft underlay then the probability of injury sustained either by novices or by professionals in the course of the rough body-checking that is part and parcel of the modern game. This carpet innovation would also open up the home leisure sector to greater merchandising potential - "experience all the thrills of the National Hockey League in the comfort of your own home (light carpet required, safety not guaranteed)".
Also have you considered the flipside of this technology, harnessing the attractive force that manifestly exists between anything containing turmeric and oil and white items of clothing?
