Less a view of falling cats through a science lens, this is more of a survey science course seen through cat eyes. Most of the sciences are touched on: Newtonian physics, darkroom chemistry, anatomy and physiology, quantum mechanics.

It's a less compelling read if you just wanted to understand the cat trick.

The fear of artificial life is intimately tied up with the word "robot" itself, which first appeared in the 1921 science fiction play "R.U.R." (Rossum's Universal Robots), written by the Czech author Karel Čapek. In the play, artificial people—robots—are produced in a factory by the Rossum company. Eventually the robots, who can think for themselves, rise up in rebellion and exterminate almost all of humanity.… The word "robot" was derived from the Czech "roboti," which refers to a serf-like forced laborer.
