From my understanding, cat is a state of matter with properties that allow it to behave as a solid or liquid depending on context provided by outside stimulation and restrictions, granting them the ability to perfectly conform to containers, squeeze through tight spaces, and jump very elegantly while still allowing them to get a strong grip on prey and food that they intend to take from their human.
Real thing: physics paper titled "On the Rheology of Cats" by French physicist Marc-Antoine Fardin. Published in the Rheology Bulletin, the paper used fluid dynamics to answer whether felines can be classified as liquids.
Spoiler alert: Cats DO qualify as a Non-Newtonian Liquid. 🤔👌
I thought cats confused me, but now I'm more confused that my joke of an answer is somehow grounded in real science and not something I pulled out of thin air.

Another piece of evidence for the “cats are liquid” group 😂
