Caturday space cat edition.
Why are cats flailing around in zero g so funny
>>16806058There's a formula for it lol
>>16806064I can’t deal with this information

>>16806004cool and unusual
>>16808783NoThat’s not possible!
>>16808745I've heard cats 'parachute' from a certain height
>>16808783i expected it to keep going on the ceiling
>>16806392That look.

>>16806000a) Although I like cats, these make me lol for some reason.b) Tbh, even a human suddenly losing gravity (which feels a lot like freefall) would flail around a lot. Plus, and the actual "zerogravity" time doesn't last enough for someone to get used to it.I do however wonder if a cat could eventually get used to it and then grip from wall to wall with their nails as well calculate runs and jumps inbetween them. My suspicion is that if one brought a newbord kitten to the space station, their brains would fully adapt to it and would behave and move through their environment calmly. (but would also likely never be able to go back to Earth gravity)

>>16806064>>16806066There's a gauge theory of it toohttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/243771835_Gauge_theory_of_the_falling_cat
was this one /sci/ or /x/?

Are there any other examples in animal kingdom similar to how female cats breed via gangbangs? Seen a line 10 tomcats all waiting their turn to fuck an in heat female cat. It's a funny scene that always reminds me of most female humans.

>>16810532Yep, thanks to apartment blocks there is a heap of data of cats falling from varying heights and 3 to 5 stories had the highest mortality rate because it's high enough to fuck them up but not high enough for them to enter parachute mode/This is often misreported as them always surviving above X hight but the reality is if they have a 70% chance at 10 stories they still have a 70% chance at 20 or 100 stories.
It’s Caturday boys
>>16819989Rise and shine my cat niggas
>>16808628They don't have a traditional clavicle(it's smaller and not attached to any other bones,) so they can squeeze through anything that is as wide as their head.
>>16811506I find the comical flailing quite impressive. They're righting themselves so quickly, a human just tumbles around like a sack of potatoes. I reckon a cat would get used to a living on a space ship, and move around gracefully provided the walls are a claw grippable material.I cant believe there have been zero cats on the ISS. We need a catronaut

>>16819615"Radioactive Cats" (1980) is a surreal color photograph by American artist Sandy Skoglund, featuring twenty-five glowing green cats invading a stark, gray kitchen filled with elderly figures and everyday objects. Created through meticulous staging and sculptural elements, the work blends reality and fantasy to undermine stereotypes of cute domesticated pets, evoking themes of nuclear anxiety, aging, and the uncanny. Open to multiple interpretations, it critiques modern life and environmental threats through its eerie, dreamlike composition.
>>16806000>>16806003>>16806004>>16806005Poor cats. Its like people cannot think and just HAVE to see it. What the fuck do you think an animal that is born and adapted to live in the gravity and relies on its delicate sense will do in 0 gravity (microgravity - they are doing it in a plane)? ofcourse its going to spazz like crazy. The level of distress for the cat is YUGE.

>>16821295Poor kitty. That guy's face expression is priceless.
>>16821539Where's the cat anon?
>>16821295The pilot and passenger should be imprisoned for having done that to that cat. They did it on purpose of course. A judge should throw the book at them.
>>16822499Scaring animals is wholesome fun.https://youtu.be/59Am7MN51bg
>>16823823>Scaring animals is wholesome fun.I beg to differ.And that micro drone partially crashed into that cat, before it fully crashed into that pole. Thus the incident wasn't only, or limited to, scaring.And it's neither wholesome nor fun.
>>16823901A cativist.This is a portmanteau of "cat" and "activist," referring to someone who advocates for feline welfare, fights against cat abuse, and pushes for laws to protect cats and other companion animals. It's the playful, species-specific parallel to a human rights activist, much like how "cat rights activist" or "cats rights activist" could work but without the purr-fect pun. Groups like Cativists.org embody this by raising awareness and promoting anti-cruelty legislation.
>>16823902>Cativists.orgThe organization (an animal rights group focused on preventing cat abuse and promoting related legislation) appears to have migrated its content to a new domain: wearecativists.org. That site is fully operational and even references "Cativists.org" in its mission statement and "Why Join?" section, suggesting cativists.org was their original address before the switch.
>>16823695Awesome.

Is there a scientific explanation why I can watch cat content for 2+ hours without getting bored or sick? I can't get enough.
>>16824382Our ancestors were terrified of large cats. Watching and studying their behavior allowed for increased chance of survival. Your ancestors would be proud of you after hours of cat video binging. Good job.
Cats are meant to be silly

>>16826673>>16826674>>16826675I'm against what's going on in these videos. Cats shouldn't curl up inside of glass containers which have narrow openings.
>>16827033if bowl not for sitting then why bowl comfy?
>>16827033I get a lot more nervous seeing moves like this or >>16806313
>>16806313>>16827059>I get a lot more nervous seeing moves like this or [...]Yes, those "moves" are worse. The cats undoubtedly learned them when they were kittens. The cat owners should alter their doors.
