    Dont be off-roading through water with a kitten in your BB - they might drown!

    but the butter should stop it squeeking.

    Isn't a cat with a slice of buttered toast attached to it's back butter side up a perpetual motion machine if thrown out of a window?

    No the toast and cat would counterbalance each other and the cat would land on its side - to produce a perpetual motion cat would require three pieces of toast - one on the back and one on each side. The addition of marmalade would of course increase the rate of spin but at the risk of marmalade fallout

    Of course choice of marmalade is important - you could have someone's eye out with thick cut Oxford at high speed.

    I see no reason why the cat could not find a point of equilibrium between one of the pieces of toast. This seems like a substantial hole in your so-called 'hypothesis'.

    Yes indeed - it was Veronese's single slice hypothesis that I felt would not attain equilibrium - the problem of attaching the toast is of course solved at the subatomic level by gluons

    We'll have to search elsewhere for the solution to the worlds energy problems then.

    not necessarily - if a negative charge was introduced into the toast then it would stick to the cat.

    As we all know cations are pussitive.

    Mind you I'm not sure how spinning a cat/kitten is going to help it avoid drowning, unless you're envisioning some sort of bouncing bomb scenario.

    well... I guess if they skim across the water they'd be some sort of catamaran?

    Of course you could use the toast to stiffen them in which case they'd become catatonic

    I suppose we could have a whip around to buy you a new one. Anyone want to stick anything in the kitty?

    At least your jokes have picked up. Your first one left me feline a bit sick.
