Everyone knows that cats are smart.<\/p>\n

\"cats<\/p>\n

Just look at them! They\u2019ve got a constant look on their face that says \u201cI know something you don\u2019t\u201d. And usually they do.<\/p>\n

As in \u201cI know that I clawed your favorite couch to shreds five minutes ago and there\u2019s nothing you can do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

But did you know they\u2019re basically physics majors?<\/p>\n

OK, maybe not physics majors per se, but they still seem a lot more astute than many of my friends from college. Just take my word on that.<\/p>\n

Now you must be wondering why I\u2019m saying this. Am I being paid off by the big feline corporations to sing their praises?<\/p>\n

Has a cat found embarrassing pictures of me from high school when I tried to grow out my hair like Jim Morrison and is forcing me to rant about how smart they are? Is this article being ghostwritten by a cat?<\/p>\n

Well, none of those things are true. Except for the Jim Morrison hair, I\u2019d rather not talk about it.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, science has proven that cats have a basic understanding of physics.<\/p>\n

A number of tests using metal balls and a box proved that they know a thing or two about the subject. Personally, I think the most interesting thing is that they didn\u2019t just play with the box the whole time.<\/p>\n
