I open with a disclaimer. I am not particularly fond of
cats.
As a matter of fact, I am highly allergic to them (and dogs, and weeds, and
etc.).
However, I recently received via email
a long list of cat laws that cat fanciers seem to
appreciate.
Here are
some of them. If you own (or are owned by) a cat,
let me know if these are true for
your pet!
Law of Cat InertiaA 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 Cat MagnetismAll blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric. |
![]() |
Law of Cat ThermodynamicsHeat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat; all heat flow to the cat. |
First Law of Energy ConservationCats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will, therefore, use as little energy as possible. |
Law of Refrigerator ObservationIf a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat. |
![]() |
Law of Random Comfort SeekingA cat will always seek, and usually take over, the most comfortable spot in any given room. |
Law of Bag/Box OccupancyAn empty bag or box in a room must contain a cat at the earliest possible moment. |
Law of Cat DisinterestA cat’s interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of human effort expended in trying to interest him. |
![]() |
Law of Cat CompositionA cat is composed of equal parts Matter, Anti-Matter, and It-Doesn’t-Matter. |
![]() |
Cat’s Uncertainty PrincipleIt is not possible to predict where a cat actually is, only the probability of where she “might” be. |
