A sixth grader asked an important question: Does your cat’s butthole really touch all the surfaces in your home? The Florida middle schooler submitted his research for the school science fair. After conducting experiments with the help of his mother, Kaeden discovered that the answer appears to be no! How did they come across this answer? “Non-toxic lipstick was applied to their bum-bums, they were then given a series of commands,” a Facebook post explaining the experiment reads. Cats with longer hair did not appear to leave any lipstick smears, but there was an exception. “If you have a short haired cat and they may be lying on a pile of laundry, an unmade bed, or other soft uneven surface, then their butthole MAY touch those surfaces,” the project found.
