20 Hissterical High-Flying Cats Hovering Beyond the Bounds of Gravity

Cats have been defying the laws of existence since furrever. They don't understand the concept of physics, they have nine lives, and play with gravity like it's a child's toy. Between balancing on tightropes and falling asleep upside down, these hissterical kitties are always making us question what's real and what isn't. Not only are they cute and fluffy, but they're also scientific anomalies!

Cats and gravity go together like the Avengers and the Justice League, they just don't mix! No matter how much you think that they should vibe with each other, one clearly has control, and it's clearly cats who have control over this physical force that keeps the rest of us on the ground. But, their loss is our gain, because as owners of these fuzzy, funny felines, we get to expurrience their gravity-defying acts on the daily.

At first, we were shocked by their high-flying antics, but now, it's just a normal Sunday to see our cats balancing themselves on the top of the door frame. If you don't own any cats and you're here to see their circus-level acts, you're in for a treat. If you are a feline owner and you just finished yelling at your cat to get down from the curtains, you're in for a good giggle. Alexa, play "Defying Gravity" from Wicked!

"This cat doesn't see the gravity of this situation"

Legend has it this cat still hasn't come down from his high jump yet. He's floating somewhere in the stratosphere, still waiting for his hooman to come up there and feed him dinner.
