In the words of Andy Pipkin:
That one >
I doe like it!
I don't get that picture popping up at all.
That reminds me....got a blood appointment next week....
Something to ponder...
We know that it is a cat's natural instinc to land on its feet when dropped from a height - for example, you turn away feor a few moments to watch the kids unwrapping their pressies on Xmas morning & suddenly the cat's on the worktop tearing great lumps out of the turkey.
No matter what you throw at the cat, it could never be stunned enough to flop to the floor. Unless comatose or beyond, it'll always tend to land on its feet.
BUT
What causes the toast to land butter side down?
Is there some 'instinct' at play here?
A force there may be? Could Yoda be right?
Could it be simple physics? We all know what happens when magnets are placed near each other, like poles repel opposites attract - it's the same with a balloon on a wooly jumper, it's even the same with people in relationships.
Could it be simply that the topping itself holds the opposite charge to that of the floor, and the toast has the same charge? In which case, as the floor repels the similarly charged toast, an unevenness in the toast causes a wobble - allowing the oppositely charged topping to become attracted?
If it is, then it would explain why I haven't got anywhere in helping to solve this conundrum, never was any good at physics at school...took me 2 attempts to pass my flipping physics GCSE

LOL This thread is hilarious. But very scientific.
Nah, it's much simpler than that. The buttered toast is merely obeying a law, just like gravity, but known as "Murphy's" or "Sod's". And this again is where the probabilities issue comes into play. The more expensive the flooring, or the hungrier you are and really want to eat said slice of buttered toast, the more likely it is to hit the floor covering side down.....

so.... if you used an expensive white carpet and a topping that is more likely to stain... will this change the whole equation and would it be enough to override the cats instinct to land on its feet?
and is it in fact the feet that are drawn to the ground - i think not
if it were, then it could land on its back with its legs twisted under it. i feel the attraction has to lie in the belly of the cat as well as its feet.
or something like that
