Cats are innate masters of physics. They can leap extraordinary distances to climb things or while hunting. They have split second reflexes to catch their prey. And apparently, they can’t get enough ...

Cats are better physicists than dogs, according to a new study — at least when it comes to drinking. A cat lapping milk strikes a delicate balance between gravity and inertia, the research finds.

Cats are renowned for always landing on their feet. While that’s not entirely true, “cat physics” sounds like an oxymoron. Scientific laws don’t appear to apply to animals that can squeeze into ...

When hunting for prey, cats have been found to not only understand the principle of cause and effect, they also use certain elements of physics. By combining these abilities with their keen sense of ...

In October of 1894, at a meeting of the French Academy of Sciences, the renowned physiologist Étienne-Jules Marey showed a series of photographs that sent his colleagues into collective uproar. In the ...

When it comes to cats and physics, most people don’t get much further than Erwin Schrödinger and his gedankenexperiment involving a feline locked in a box. But research from Saho Takagi and her ...

Of all the furry ambush predators on the planet, domestic house cats — some 600 million of them — are among the most numerous. Their ancient evolutionary history does not always feel so ancient, as ...

I detest popular press coverage of science topics. They nearly always are biased and perpetuate misconceptions because the reporters haven't a clue what science is or how how science works. This ...
