I'm sure that the physicists amongst my reader base will recognize Newton's Second Law of Thermodynamics. For the rest of us (myself included) here's the translation: it states that the forces acting on an object (F) are equal to the mass (m) of the object times it's acceleration (a). I'll have to go through Newton's Principia again but I'm sure that there is another multiplier if the object being accelerated is a medium sized gray cat. I think we take the force present up by an order of magnitude or more.... probably more.
Whatever in the world could have happened here??
Daisy has always been given to fits of the zoomies. Quite adorable, actually. She's learned how to handle herself on hardwood and rarely spins out. She loves to get up speed and launch herself into the papa-san. Which was great. Until she hit ten pounds or so and developed a frame powerful enough to really go airborne. The papa-san has wobbled pretty hard before, but recently she's been taking the thing down. Loudly.
Hey!! Did anyone see this?!? Did you see what some other cat musta come in here and did?!? Maybe it was Little Gray Guy!! Or Puddin'! That tail woulda knocked this over easy, that's for sure.....
Seriously, that is all her. Glad we don't have anything really breakable in range of that chair.....
We really can't complain, though. Not only is Daisy a really sweet cat, she has been good as gold recently. We're having our bathroom re-tiled. Have to stop a leak in the walls. There have been strangers in and out of the house, banging and hammering...the whole nine yards. Daisy has been a champ. We had to stay at a hotel for a couple of nights as they had removed the toilet. Daisy had a grand time exploring the temporary digs. She has been a true Adventure Cat!
She's even shown us her artistic/technical side during our design process. Here she is, offering her thoughts while looking at the old tile...
Okay, I think you're gonna need at least a new transmission on this baby. And your shocks are worn, and the MacPherson struts are going. Lessee....your fuel injects don't, and the ailerons and tail flaps wobble too much. And look at that! You're flirting with gimbal-lock! And you're gonna need a few crenelations and battlements, too! Oh my, it's a good thing you came to see me when you did! Things are dire. You're gonna need at least 5 boat-payments worth of work here......
She has a firm grasp of the technical work necessary, without a doubt.
We'll keep you updated as Daisy Snoopervises the work in progress.
