Buttered Cat Paradox

[GregCentauro]

Assumption #1: Cats always land on their feet
Assumption #2: Buttered toasts always land on the buttered side down

What happens when you strap a buttered toast on a cat's back and let it drop from siginificant height?

Perpetual movement!

 

[Ray Ecks]

My moneys on the toast. As long as it's real butter on the toast, and not that fake spread stuff.

 

[mrtrebus]

The toast dislodges itself from the cat, during freefall the cat consumes the toast before landing on its feet. Thus they both arrive at terminal point at the same time. . .

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I'll be there to catch the cat.

 

[mrtrebus]

I'll be there to catch the toast.

 

[Galactic]

This.

 

[Moonchild22]

Furry toast.

 

[Skyraider22]

I just got to go with the feet:dunno:

 

[Johan]

The cat stays, like magneticaly suspended in the air

You become your own grandfather.

 

[LukeEl]

What if it is one of those hairless cats buttered bread would stick to it right?

Cats don't land on their feet if your throw them hard enough...

Assumption #1 isn't accurate. Cat's usually land on their feet, but try it with an unconscious cat.

Assumption #2 was disproved by Mythbusters a couple of years ago.

Schroedinger's cat is a false paradox, cat suffocates long before the poison could be deployed. (don't ask how I know this.)

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

I tried an experiment on my cat. I threw him in the air but upon releasing him I made him spin at about 4g. I did this ten times and he only landed on his feet once, on his back six times and on his head thrice. Of course his landing pad was a mound of blankets and pillows. I'm not cruel.

This is true.

 

[vodkazvictim]

Schroedingers cat has nothing to do with this!

Seems you're experienced in the delicate art of cat-throwing...

Yes, but I prefer small children or the poor.
