40 Cats Who Decided That Disobeying Their Owners Is Not Enough So They Defied The Laws Of Physics As Well
The scope of feline weirdness is unprecedented. I mean, we do know cats are so dramatic they deserve an Oscar, they love sleeping in the most bizarre places like flower pots and tissue boxes, and sometimes their .exe stops working.
But what if I tell you that new evidence shows our beloved furballs have been defying the laws of physics?
From bouncing off the walls at 3 am like an astronaut in space to practicing for an audition for the Spider Cat sequel, these are the sightings that cancel gravity, the speed of light, mechanics... you name it. Let’s see it to believe it down below and I promise, you won’t be looking at your chonk in the tronk the same way again.

Here, you will find the majestic cat tree. It appears as if there's a bountiful harvest this year
To find out just how cats defy the laws of physics, Bored Panda reached out to cat behaviorist Celia Haddon, who has lectured on cat behavior at Ruskin Anglia University and Oxford Adult Education.
Celia explained that their climbing powers come down to unique feline anatomy. “Cats' claws are curved so they can use them for climbing upwards. They are retractable, so cats walk without their claws touching the ground, but protract them to climb.”
Moreover, the claws help felines grip onto surfaces. “They can, therefore, climb straight up, if there is something they can get their claws into, like a tree trunk or a wall which is not too smooth.” Having said that, Celia added that “a completely smooth 90-degree angle surface would be too much of a challenge.”
"can he spin from a web? course he can't cuz he's a cat, look out here comes the spider-cat!"

Awww that looks like my cat "Milo" when he was a baby. Same attitude with curtains too. LOL!
This kitty dreamt to be a ballerina some day. Today, she has attained her dream!!!
From a Standing Position I have Seen a House Cat Clear Twelve Feet!! They are just as Awesome as their Flexible Wild Cousins!!
puts a smile on your face, I love cats. hard to be in a bad mood when you have a cat.
Omg! My cat use 2 climb the curtains when he wanted attention. I tried everything to stop him from shredding my blinds as a kitten but he was ruthless!
Hello. nothing to see here. just hanging upside down from the curtains. move along
Spider cat, spider cat, friendly adorable spider cat LOOK OUT!!! HERE COMES THE SPIDERCAT!!
Cats are also notorious jumpers who could reach the sky if they wanted to. The cat behaviorist said that “they can jump six times or more their own height from a standing start.”
Exactly how high that’d be depends on every cat individually. It may partly have to do with “the relative length of their back legs and their weight, according to a study in the Journal of Experimental Biology.”
If you’re still not convinced that felines have special superpowers, wait till you hear how flexible they are.
Celia explained that: “They have free-floating tiny collar bones, or clavicles, which are not fixed to any of the other bones in their skeleton. (Humans' longer collar bones are attached to and brace together the breastbone and the shoulder blade.)”
Plus, “They have 30 vertebrae, the bones that make up the spine, with a further 18-23 vertebrae in the tails. It is their specially cushioned disks between their vertebrae that allow their spine to be so flexible.”
As a result of this incredible anatomy, cats can, in fact, rotate their bodies 180 degrees to the left or right. So, no, you were not hallucinating, nor was it a glitch in the matrix.

It's not that cats defy physics, it's just, ever since Schrodinger, cats operate on a quantum level. I mean, I'm sure you've seen two cats that are entangled, right? entangled_...a58c22.jpg 
Cats - we can have them in our lives and do our best to enjoy them but never will we be able to truly understand them. They are a force of nature and they just let us live in their world.
Cats are simply legendary. I think we'll never make sense of the loveable sods.
Love cats and their antics... why was it shortened...the more we see the happier we are.
Amazing photographers to just be there at the right moment to catch these cats some mid-flight !!
Ohhh my god, this photos made my day, I need to share this post with everyone I know
Im not sure if i want to know how they do this since there could be some seriously spooky stuff behind this
