If you drop a buttered piece of bread it will fall on the floor butter-side down. If a cat is dropped from a window or other high place it will land on its feet. With this in mind if you attach a buttered piece of bread, butter-side up to a cat's back and toss them both out the window. Will the cat land on its feet? Or will the bread land butter-side down?
In theory, even if you are too lazy to do this experiment yourself you should be able to deduce the obvious result. The laws of butterology demand that the butter must hit the ground. The equally strict laws of feline aerodynamics demand that the cat land on its feet. If the combined construct were to land, nature would have no way to resolve this paradox. Therefore they simply do not fall. That's right you clever mortal (well, as clever as a mortal can get), you have discovered the secret of antigravity! The one obvious danger of course is if the cats manage to eat the bread off their backs. They will instantly plummet.
