The seems to be a distinct lack of science applied around here:The diagram as presented is flawed; the cat can, and indeed will, land on its feet – the effect of the toast cannot oppose whilst attached to the cat’s back, since it does not land on the floor in this case.
The approved method is thus: Firmly attach buttered toast to the cats paws. Critically, the buttered side MUST be facing up, toward the underside of the cat. Then the cat/toast combo will hover – the force produced by the toast trying to land butter side down will be opposed by the force from the cat trying to land paws first. The final weakness is this; since the toast is beneath the cat, there is a chance that the cat will lick the butter or, at worst, eat the toast. This can be overcome by fitting a veterinary “cone” around the cat’s neck preventing the animal from reaching the buttered toast.
This is the “belt and braces” approach where the grey areas around “toast actually landing” in the initial proposal are dealt with. I believe this is also the principle upon which a number of NASA trials have been based.
