Physics Kitteh demonstrates one aspect of Newton’s second law of motion. Oh dear, mass and acceleration both appear rather high. The net force with which Physics Kitteh hits that chair could be substantial.
Chemistry Cat says: extra ‘nip for Physics Kitteh! Thanks for the lesson and see you next Caturday.

First, Pascal the cat thought the book was a guide to eating fish. Then, he thought it was a guide to eating Tiktaalik, a fish with leg-like limbs that is closely related to the ancestor of all land-dwelling vertebrates (amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and dinosaurs).
No, Pascal. Your inner fish is the anatomical similarities you have with fish, because you share a common ancestor with them deep in the past. Though you may think you’re a superior being to your pet hooman, you share the same common ancestor with him, from the first life on Earth until sometime in the Jurassic Period, when all mammals were about the size of your cat toys.
This week, tech writer Virginia Heffernan caused a stir by publishing an essay entitled “Why I am a Creationist“. Here at the Finch & Pea, we believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when it comes to explaining stuff, we put our trust in Science Cat (and his friend Chemistry Cat), and leave Ceiling Cat to looking pretty and keeping mice out of the attic.
