Smarter Every Day – Slow Motion Flipping Cat Physics
I must unfortunately ask you for your financial support because I do not depend on ads and rely entirely on the generosity of readers to keep Behind the Black running. You can either make a one time donation for whatever amount you wish, or you sign up for a monthly subscription ranging from $2 to $15 through Paypal or $3 to $50 through Patreon.
Your support will allow me to continue covering science and culture as I have for the past twenty years, independent and free from any outside influence.
Your support is even more essential to me because I not only keep this site free from advertisements, I do not use the corrupt social media companies like Google, Twitter, and Facebook to promote my work. I depend wholly on the direct support of my readers.
You can provide that support to Behind The Black with a contribution via Patreon or PayPal. To use Patreon, go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation. For PayPal click one of the following buttons:
If Patreon or Paypal don't work for you, you can support Behind The Black directly by sending your donation by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman, to

Or you can donate by using Zelle through your bank. You will need to give my name and email address (found at the bottom of the "About" page). The best part of this electronic option is that no fees will be deducted! What you donate will be what I receive.
Cool!
If my wife ever sees this video, that guy is a dead man walking.
Cat: So what? Time for my nap.
Cat: Are you still here to bug me ?
Cat: You are so pitiful. Go be a human elsewhere.
Cat: snooze ……
This is a pretty zoned out cat. Just another day in the park!
Only humans will put human emotions on animals. For this cat, it is no problem. It can do it with a blindfold (Almost).

Reminds me of a segment of the TV program “You Asked For It” from the early 60’s. They were asking the same cat question except they drop a cat from a low flying, very slow speed Piper Cub. Yep, 4-leg landing every time. Can’t do that today because the Animals-are-more human people than evil humans are Liberal crowd would burn down the station, but execute the person dropping the cat.
Bread always lands butter side down, as well.
So if they attached buttered bread to the back of the cat and toss it in the air…
perpetual motion!!!
