we had a cat [her name was Thompkins. She looked like a Thompkins] distribute herself at me on a bikeride the other evening. i love cat volunteers but both the wife and the landlady said NO MORE CATS. Thompkins and I disagreed, but we were temporarily overruled :Ɛ
Cats are a newtonian fluid with a melting point somewhere around 75F. If I cool the house to 74 or below, Izzy loafs or curls up in a ball. If I let it get warmer than that in the house she stretches out. They remain viscous and cohesive with a high surface tension.
Note this testing is done at around 29.8 inches of mercury ambient pressure.

That cactus on the right just adds to the confusing picture - my brain wanted to see a tail.

Especially because I think it's got a coating of cat hair caught in its prickles

At least it looks like if, but some cactuses have "fur" themselves.

I have one of those. Had no idea they could get that tall.
Edit: the cactus, not the tail ha ha

What a fitting name for a being that's able to change its shape like this.

You probably shouldn’t water your plants with cat. Or maybe you should, idk. Might propagate kittens.

They probably shouldn't cat their plants.

It took a couple of second for me to figure out that is not a puddle of slime secreted by the plant.

The laws of physics are mere suggestions to cats

Watering the plants, nice. I wish mine would help out around the house, but he's a grade A slob.
