@futurebird I thought cats were living liquid.

@flipsels

Only in a bounded space, when unbounded the cat will be potato shaped due to purrrface tension.

If you put a cat in a container you may see a mew-niscus.

... ha ha ha I'll be here all night!

@futurebird @flipsels Cats behave like purrcury, and the mewniscus is concave.
