Wait, Cats Are Liquid?! See These Furry Shape-shifters Melt Into Weird Spots

So here's the thing: the internet basically belongs to cats. Dogs might hang out outside, but cats? They rule online with their sneaky, stretchy antics. And people who love staying indoors love these flexible furballs who do their own thing.

Among all the kitty fan clubs, one place is pure gold: r/catsareliquid. It's packed with photos of cats basically turning into jelly and flowing into the weirdest spots. Prepare for some serious 'what even is this?' moments.

Why are cats so bendy? Well, turns out they have 53 vertebrae (that’s waaay more than us humans). Add a long, twisty tail and super flexible spines cushioned like bouncy yoga mats, and you've got one stretchy kitty.

This means they can twist their necks and bodies almost upside down without a care. Ever seen a cat flip in mid-air? Now you know why.

Now, someone nerdy actually studied this! Physicist Marc-Antoine Fardin, inspired by cat memes calling them 'liquid', decided to investigate. His 'procrastination' won him the Ig Nobel Prize for research that’s as silly as it is smart.

He found out cats behave like liquids in some surprising ways.

In science-speak, solids keep their shape, while liquids keep their volume but change their shape. Cats? Same volume, but they can stretch and squeeze to fit any container. Sounds like liquid to us!

Plus, cats only start to flow when you 'poke' them just right, and they fill a space completely - if their head fits, the rest will squish in!

So, official or not, cats are liquid in spirit. Whether they're solid or gooey fuzzballs, they keep amazed us by bending all the rules and popping up where you least expect. Now scroll down and witness the magic of liquid cats in action!
