Today (January 4) is the 371st anniversary of the birth of Sir Isaac Newton, the 17th century English physicist and mathematician who discovered the law of gravity. The Gravity Game is a favorite feline pastime at our house.
Our four-year old tuxedo, Bette is a huge fan of gravity. Objects (like evil cell phones, bottles of evil hand lotion or evil coffee cups left on the kitchen table must be flung off the edge in a continuous test of the power of gravity. So far, in the case of gravity vs. valuable breakable object, gravity (and Bette’s curiosity) win every time.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time, Sir Newton is also credited with the invention of the cat flap.
Bette says, “Thank you Sir Newton,” for making her quiet existence so much more exciting.
