A Conversation for Bread and Cats
Not anti-gravity - perpetual motion
There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Started conversation Dec 15, 2001
As the cat falls, both the butter and the cat's feet are compelled to touch the ground, as you so rightly state, but the result is that at a height of about 20", the cat will start to spin as first its feet, and then the butter, are drawn to the ground. Pass an axle through the cat, and voila - a never-ending source of rotary motion. Eat your heart out Eric Laithwaite!

Would similar results be achievable by applying butter to both sides of a bit of bread?
Or indead, creating levitation by tying together the feet of a large number of tabbies to create a large floating hairball.
(suitable claw protection recomended)
There have also been rumors experiments where the cat is placed between two slices of buttered bread. The intended effect is uncertain.
