There's a common misconception that cats are mostly liquid, because they can get into all sorts of crazy situations like walking on very hot surfaces and drinking out of toilets and so on. This is true. Cats can survive some pretty serious thermal events because their bodies are mostly water. But let's say that you heat up a sample of cat water in an oven, until all the water has evaporated completely. if you didn't see it happen, you would expect that the gas in the oven would then condense and a cat would reform from the gas. This is not the case. Cats are not made of gas. In fact, cats cannot be liquefied at any temperature. You can't turn a cat into liquid by heating it up any amount. So why, scientifically, do they always land on their feet?
