Cats fill./ Cats spill./ Cats flow downhill.// Cats tip./ Cats drip./ Cats grip, snip, rip.// Cats are a liquid/ Except when they're not. Celebrate cats in all their flowing, furry glory! This charming picture book examines the unusual physical properties of felines. Inspired by an Ig Nobel Prize-winning investigation of how cats behave like liquids, it introduces some of the physical properties of liquids - they adapt to fit a container, they flow like fluids - and is just pure fun. Like its inspiration, it makes you laugh, then think. Back matter includes a brief introduction to the different physical states.

A playful picture book ode to fluid cats, inspired by an Ig Nobel prize-winning physicist's investigation of how cats behave like liquids.
