Cat Physics: ~Law of Cat Inertia~ A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force - such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse. ~Law of Cat Motion~ A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction. ~Law of Cat Magnetism~ All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric. ~Law of Cat Thermodynamics~ Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat. ~Law of Cat Stretching~ A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken. ~Law of Cat Elongation~ A cat can make his body long enough to reach just about any counter top that has anything remotely interesting on it. ~Law of Cat Obstruction~ A cat must lay on the floor in such a position to obstruct the maximum amount of human foot traffic. ~Law of Dinner Table Attendance~ Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served. ~Law of Rug Configuration~ No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long. ~First Law of Energy Conservation~ Cats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will, therefore, use as little energy as possible. ~Second Law of Energy Conservation~ Cats also know that energy can only be stored by a lot of napping. ~Law of Refrigerator Observation~ If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat. ~Law of Random Comfort Seeking~ A cat will always seek, and usually take over, the most comfortable spot in any given room. ~Law of Bag/Box Occupancy~ All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat within the earliest possible nanosecond. ~Law of Furniture Replacement~ A cat's desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture. ~Law of Cat Landing~ A cat will always land in the softest place possible; often the mid-section of an unsuspecting, reclining human. ~Law of Fluid Displacement~ A cat immersed in milk will displace her own volume, minus the amount of milk consumed. ~Law of Obedience Resistance~ A cat's resistance varies in proportion to a human's desire for her to do something. ~Law of Cat Disinterest ~ A cat's interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to interest him. ~Law of Pill Rejection~ Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape velocity. ~Law of Cat Composition~ A cat is composed of Matter + Anti-Matter + It Doesn't Matter.
