The buttered cat paradox is a humorous take involving two supposed "facts":
- Buttered bread, if dropped, will always land buttered-side down
- Cats always land on their feet
The "paradox" involves an "experiment" whereby a piece of buttered bread is strapped to a cat (butter side facing away from the cat), then the cat is dropped from a sufficient height. Notwithstanding the complaints to be received from PETA for "animal abuse", one of three things would happen:
1. The cat lands on its feet, thus disproving the buttered bread fact.
2. The cat lands with the buttered bread on the floor, thus disproving the cat landing on its feet fact.
3. The cat enters a continual steady state of rotation as the two facts attempt to disprove the other.
