Is the cat a liquid?
French physicist Marc-Antoine Fardin was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017 for his groundbreaking research in rheology, which is the study of how matter flows and deforms.
In school we learned that a liquid is the state of matter that takes the shape of its container, but not the volume.
The main point of the award-winning paper, "On the rheology of cats," is whether cats can fit the scientific definition of a liquid.
