If toast always lands butterside down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast to a cats back and drop it?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Also note that if the cat and toast are small enough then quantum physics will come into play. You won't know whether the cat is alive or dead. If the cat is dead, the toast will surely fall butter side down.
They would not float, they would spin. Depending upon the shape of the toast and the cat's whiskers, they might propel themselves forward at an ever increasing rate, possibly launching into space.
I look forward to hearing the results of your experiments. There is little point in speculating if you do not put the theories to the test.

Well, if you are not going to experiment you may at least wish to do further research at this site:
http://www.butteredcat.co.uk/index.php
It discussed numerous hypotheses but only unconfirmed (and highly doubtful) experiments.
Alternatively, you could study the mechanisms by which buttered toast and cats fall, which is described here:http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/content/kitchenscience/exp/butter-side-down/
and for the cat:

The inevitable conclusion must be that for an ordinary cat and and ordinary piece of buttered toast pushed from a commonplace table, the cat will land on its feet despite the toast.
But, one can vary the ground rules such as size and height, not to mentionNewton's Theory about Gravity, which is only a theory after all. (Parliament never passed it as a law.)
hahaha It would be a fun experiment, but I am a dog person lol........it was actually something we were talking about at work the other day and I thought I'd see what other people have to say about it!
