If a cat always lands on its feet and buttered bread always lands butter side down, what would happen if you tied buttered bread on top of a cat?

it would land on one of its sides, or float above the ground

Depends on the height of the drop... considering your assuming the cat always lands on its feet, and the bread on the butters side (Murphy's law) I'd assume the drop was considerable.. in which case, the cat would land on its feet as it could move the bread, but the bread cant move the cat.

the cat will fall onto its feet then roll over to get the buttered side of the bread on the floor :)

If you taped a piece of toast to the back of a cat? I think you'd get something which hovers in mid air (since neither can land, because then one of the rules would be broken). I think this is the basis of how hover cars would work ... use the cat/toast combo instead of each wheel and you have a hover car!

the cat would land on it's feet, because the bread is tied to the cat and has no movement :-)

A cat can only land on it's feet if it has enough time to flip itself. If you drop a cat too close to the floor, it will land on it's back.

I can't believe how many people takes this kind of question so seriously as to really try to explain that the cat can move and the bread can't, etc.

You need to tie a piece to the underside otherwise you would have an incomplete cat sandwich.

Sounds like a load of fun, see if you can get a government grant to conduct experiments.

Why do you drive on the parkway and park in the driveway
