    If I'm not mistaken, I'm quite sure it is generally the BREAD that is buttered, not the CAT.

    But if buttered cats are what you are into... whatever floats your boat.

    No, no, no, floats your cat, not boat, cat.

    Pffffftt! Just tie on more slices until an equilibrium is reached.

    so how do you catch a buttered cat? That sounds akin to a greased pig contest.. but with teeth and claws

    You don't need to catch him. If you butter his paws, he stays home.

    I would assume that would be the case, if the force exerted by the buttered toast was proportional to mass as the force exerted by the cat. I guess it would depend on how the force is exerted. I keep thinking back to magnets.

    Would the quality of the butter help? Real butter over margarin?

    how do they work?

    In cat vs. buttered toast being equals in lore will cancel each other out. Cat will land on it's side or face/ butt plant perpendicular to the ground.
