# Interesting side effect
which Sir Newton may have informed you of: as the cats are so perfectly fat, their coefficient of restitution is effectively 1. This means that if you were to drop one from the top of the wheel, it would bounce up to the same height. This is being investigated as a means of inter-pod communication, as by the time the cat has bounced back up,having been dropped from the uppermost pod, the next pod will be at the top of the wheel.
