Cat volume computation

Newer Older

How do you compute the volume of a cat? Dunking it in water doesn't work-- you get the volume of the rat-like creature that lives inside the cat; much like the feeble alien within a Dalek. (And, if your answer had anything to do with contour integrals, get real.) Here is a method that works: Using successive approximation, determine the smallest box that the cat will fully enclose itself in.

This cat is approximately 648 cubic inches in volume.

    Okey now that's scary, your cat (and floor, and box) looks exactly as mine!! First I was like "wait what, who stole my picture of my cat?!", but then i figured that we must have taken pretty much the same pic of two different cats. uhm.
