If buttered bread always lands on the butter-side down and a cat always lands on its feet?

Question

, what happens if you strap buttered bread to a cat's back?

Answer 1

The cat will land on its feet, with the bread on its back. The cat is heavier than the bread, and has conscious control over its own motion, overcoming the tendency of the bread to land butter side down.

Answer 2

I noticed that your question does not mention dropping the cat with buttered bread strapped to its back. Dropping the duo is implied but not explicit. So I think the correct answer would be the cat would just run-around and roll-around going nuts trying to get the buttered bread off its back.

Answer 3

The cat would probably scratch you and get the bread. He wouldn't let you get close enough to hold him, let alone drop him. Regardless, the bread would fall to the floor -- butter side down, And the cat would jump off the table -- landing on his feet!

Answer 4

You've probably already tested the theory and know the answer. My hypothesis based upon weight is that the cat would land as usual, and the bread would end up based upon the strapping.
