Once again proving cats ignore the laws of physics and gravity

1. Love love love these!!!

2. Silly kitties

3. these are cute. I have a fur boy who does some pretty odd positions himself.

4. My current cat can apparently render herself invisible.

I'll be looking for her in my small home, can't find her, and then as I'm walking out of a room she meows and she's right behind me.

[TomSlick]

8. I don't think they make themselves invisible.

I think they apparate. I don't know where they go but so far the cats that live at my house always come back - eventually.

Mind you, I believe they could make themselves invisible but that would be boring.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. So, you're suggesting she always is visible, just that I can't find her, and then she transports

herself to be right behind me.

That's as good an explanation as invisibility. Thank you.

[TomSlick]

13. Sorry, apparation is a Harry Potter reference. Not everyone is a fan.

Apparition is the ability to magically move from one location to another. It is an advanced magical skill for witches and wizards but apparently comes easily to house elves.

15. Right. That's what I thought you meant.

It's at least as good an explanation as being invisible.

[TomSlick]

16. I've always been convinced there is more to cats than meets the eye.

21. I firmly believe they go to a parallel universe

Is HIllary president there?

14. From your point of view they are disapparating.

But apparating requires a lot of concentration. I think they just slip through wormholes into other dimensions.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. That might be the answer.

However, it's not just cats that slip through wormholes.

At least two different times I have had things materialize in my dryer that weren't mine. One was a green bath towel, the other was a pair of men's slacks.

I have a friend who has had sweaters and shoes materialize in his closet. And in his own size. The above mentioned slacks were eventually taken by my son and the fit him perfectly.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. I have no doubt that the cat had something to do with it.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. Actually, while I had cats when those two things showed up,

my friend has no non-human companions living with him. Never has.

You are, not doubt, familiar with the phenomenon of socks apparently disappearing in the dryer, and wire hangers multiplying in the closet? My Son The Physics Major once told me that's because socks are the larval form of hangers.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. The socks-hangers relationship might explain the fact

that while cleaning closets recently I collected an entire laundry basket full of hangers and an IKEA bag full of socks, some of them at least 30 years old. They've been breeding in that closet for years, apparently. I still think cats are responsible for the mystery of your friend's clothes. Since they can travel through wormholes they wouldn't have to have been his cats.

5. Cats are not normal animals.

[ailsagirl]

22. Darn right they're not!

Mine never fail to amuse/amaze/fascinate me!!

Small wonder the Egyptians worshipped them.

6. K&R for the kittehs. nt

[3catwoman3]

7. I wish I were flexible enough to get into...

...some of the positions my cats assume when sleeping.

[Laffy Kat]

9. My kitteh, Zooey, attaches herself to the side of my mattress horizontally with her talons...

Then zips from one side of the head of the mattress where it meets the wall to the opposite side without touching the floor. She has to do it quickly, probably to defeat gravity. This is usually accomplished at about three o'clock in the morning after I have finally managed to fall asleep. As soon as I wake up, sitting bolt upright, she flees.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. She is clearly the head of the

Don't Let Laffy Kat Sleep committee.

[Laffy Kat]

12. Oh, yes. nt
