Cat In A Cup: 21 Proofs That Cats Can Be Purr-fectly Liquid

Have you ever pondered over the mystifying physical properties of a cat? Yes, we're talking about those adorable, slightly aloof, but never a dull moment creatures, that seem to defy the standard states of matter. They don't just purr, they pour! For all you non-believers, here's your solid (or should we say liquid?) evidence.

You might have learnt about the standard three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas (four, if we count plasma - but let's not get overly geeky here). Yet, no science class would've prepared you for the astonishing liquidity of our feline friends. They have the innate ability to squeeze into spaces that you'd think only a liquid could inhabit - whether it's curling up in a tiny box, melting into a vase, or merely flowing over your lap.

If you think about it, cats are pretty much the living representation of "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade" but in their case, it's more like "when life gives you tight spaces, just become liquid". So grab your glasses and get ready to pour yourself some cat-tails as we dive into this compilation of 21 instances where cats have decided that being solid is just too mainstream.
