> You need to do an entire volume on Cat Physics. Then maybe you can explain to me how this critter, who eats my house plants despite a feeder dispensing yummy kibbles, can do the precise calculations that enable him to leap from the floor to the exact height required to land ever-so-gently on a half-wall or a table or the bathroom sink. Never a near-miss, never an overshoot.

And why is his sister only content when she curls up on my chest between my face and my book every time I try to read in bed?

Robin Wood has written a small pamphlet on [Cat Gravity](http://smile.amazon.com/Theory-Cat-Gravity-Robin-Wood/dp/0965298426/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426032681&sr=8-1&keywords=cat+gravity+robin+wood). Gravity is physics, right?
