Austin's Law of Motion!


Did he move? Don't blink!

This is Austins favourite sleeping place. On my legs, with my knee under his "armpit". I wish to point out the rather fetching inch of flesh showing where the jogs end and the white (I use the word advisedly) "sport" sock begins. There is also a tantalising glimpse of a racy red slipper! No wonder he has his eyes closed!

As you may know if you've followed this blog for a while, Austin is a keen scientist. He has advised such diverse and learnéd people as Fibonacci and Schrodinger. Now he concentrates his genius brain on one Sir Isaac Newton, who as you may know, devised a cradle and several laws to do with moving around. There was also an incident with an apple which had an outcome of some gravity!

The particular law Austin has been able to prove (see picture above) is the little known 4th law of inertia, which Newton would have got round to, had he been bothered. This law states that the resistance of any physical object to a change in its state of motion or rest, or the tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion is directly proportional to the need of the object's human (technical term) to go to the bathroom.

Happy Sunday Everybody!

  1. To think we have the nerve to call ourselves pet "owners", eh? They sleep on us, tell us when to let them out, demand food as and when, we clean up their poopy mess...who owns who, exactly? ;D

  8. Oh my catness Austin!! Zoey does this exact same thing everynight with me!! It is our bonding time and a ritual I love to share with her! She is a tiny, bony little cat, and I am a tiny, bony little person - how she finds sleeping in the crock of my legs as comfortable, is beyond me, but I love her company!

  13. Austin, you have perfected the Law of Inertia. Merlin does that with his dad and then I have to do their bidding because he says, "I can't move, Merlin".
