Laws of Cats

1 – Law of Cat Inertia
A 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.

2 – Law of Cat Motion
A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction.

3 – Law of Cat Magnetism
All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.

4 – Law of Cat Thermodynamics
Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat.
 
5 – Law of Cat Stretching
A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.

6 – Law of Cat Sleeping
All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as uncomfortable for the people involved as is possible for the cat.

7 – Law of Cat Elongation
A cat can make her body long enough to reach just about any counter top that has anything remotely interesting on it.

8 – Law of Cat Acceleration
A cat will accelerate at a constant rate, until he gets good and ready to stop.

9 – Law of Dinner Table Attendance
Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served.

10 – Law of Rug Configuration
No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long.
