Laws of Physics as Applied to Cats

All clothing attracts cat hair in direct proportion to the degree of colour difference between the cat hair and the fabric colour

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 Pill Rejection

Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape velocity

Law of Furniture Replacement

A cats desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture

Law of Cat Probability

(Cats uncertainty principle)

It is not possible to predict where a cat actually is, only the probability of where it "might" be

Law of Cat Invisibility

Cats think that if they cant see you, then you cant see them.

Law of Selective Listening

Although a cat can hear a tin of Tuna being opened at a mile away, they cant hear a command from three feet away
