When buttered toast is dropped it usually lands buttered side down and when a cat falls?

Question

it usually lands on it's feet. So....

if you strap a piece of buttered toast to a cat's back what happens when the cat falls off of something? Will the cat land on it's feet defeating the buttered toast theory or will the toast land buttered side down defeating the cat landing theory??

Answer 1

lol the butter would be saved.. but on the flip side that it was strappeed 2.... will be hairy..


best of luck. my wishes to ya.!!

Answer 2

The buttered toast conundrum has been investigated by Mythbusters.

As best as I remember - butter side up or down has more to do with the height above the floor - i.e. how many rotations occur between the height at which it's dropped, before hitting the floor. As we normally butter toast at relatively the same height, we get relatively consistant results.

I think Mythbusters tried dropping toast off the top of a building, edge downwards & got 50/50 reults.

P.S. If you strap buttered toast to a cat & drop it from 10,000 feet, it doesn't MATTER if it lands on it's feet. So be nice to kitty & DON'T DO THAT.

Answer 3

Strap the piece of toast buttered side down, that way when the cat lands on its feet, the buttered side down theory will still be valid.

Answer 4

I see what you mean. If the ToastCat lands on the floor, a contradiction happens. So hence the cat will in no way come down and could decide for the flow continually, till somebody in a carry close glider can come as much as untie the toast and take it off. it particularly is a hilarious theory. Will I awaken some morning, look outdoors the window, and locate dozens of cats outdoors floating around like autumn leaves or dandelion seeds? a minimum of they are going to be off the streets and risk-free from the motor vehicle, and that they gained't go through the destiny of Schrödinger's Cat.

Answer 5

The cat will land on it's feet, because the cat weighs more than the toast. So there for, the cat lands on it's feet destroying the toast theory.

Answer 6

What a slippery question! I think Murphy's Law would go like this--
If the cat was going to fall onto a floor made from nice wood or new linoleum it would fall paws and claws first, in order to do the most damage.(Butter can easily be wiped off of these surfaces)
If the cat was going to fall on carpeting it would definitely fall butter side down, in order to leave a permanent oily stain. (It is unlikely that a cats claws would do very much permanent damage to carpeting)

Answer 7

Because of the two conflicting theories I would assume that both the cat and the butter would spontaneously combust and then create a black hole in which all matter would be sucked in. Then there would be no butter, toast, or cat. Or theories. Problem solved.

Answer 8

I think it depends on how high the cat is dropped from lol. The higher the height its dropped from, the more chance the cat has of turning itself round to land on its feet! Either way you're gonna have a fluffy bit of toast :p

Answer 9

According to scientific fact, the toast would be spared because the cat is presumably heavier than the toast and the heaviest object takes the cake in that one. But do you really want to eat a peice of toast that's been strapped to a cat?

Answer 10

Cat lands on feet.

Answer 11

HMMM GOOD QUESTION MAYBE WITH THE COMBINED POWER OF BUTTER AND THE CAT, THE (CAT TOAST) CAN FLY.

and that would be called a fluffer butter
