Really Useful Inventions: The Catflap
Isaac Newton is accredited with discovering gravity and the nature of the universe. He is also credited with his laws about the nature of forces and such stuff. This doesn’t bother me too much. I test gravity every so often just to check that it works and think no more of it. I mean, providing there’s food on the plate, water in the pond and somewhere to bask what more could a self-satisfied cat want? Oh, yes, the freedom to come and go as one pleases. That was Newton’s greatest achievent; the catflap. Apparently he was far too busy messing about with prisms and things, trying to discover the nature of light to be bothered with letting his cat in and out. We cats are always on the wrong side of the door - that is the nature of the universe. The catflap neatly solves the problem of lazy people who cannot be bothered to let us in and out at our whim. We can do it ourselves. The kittens didn’t take long to figure that one out…
Take care - Nef.
