Cats do what they want to do. There’s no denying that. They don’t listen to any silly rules or follow commands like dogs. So, why should they obey the laws of physics? The answer is that they don’t have to.
Here are 40 of our favorite cats who have decided that they don’t even have to obey gravity.
#1 What is gravity?
Sure, he could stand upright normally like the rest of us. However, there’s no challenge in that.
