Hey guys, Stella here. Sorry fur the delay in getting this post to you; I’ve been supurr busy formulating a mathematical equation fur cats, however humans can feel furree to use it too. You see, education is very important in our household. With Ellie’s report card that came home recently, Mom and Dad were purraising her how well she’s doing in school. Math seems to be her favorite subject, which is also Dad’s strong suit too. Mom refurrs to him as a mathematical genius. Mom on the other paw practices a lot of “girl math”, which is purretty clever, too.
I’ve combined both the purroper way of doing math with Mom’s version when it comes to calculating how far cats need to jump to get furrom on place to another, and it’s called CATPAW…not to be confused with the mathematical term, PEMDAS. They are howevfurr similar in the fact that you need to follow the order of operation in which the acronym stands fur.
Allow me to break it down even furrther fur you. CATPAWS stands fur C (Count): Count how many toe-beans you have…just because you need to start somewhere. A (Addition): Now add the number of whiskers you have to that number. T (Transpose): That number you have now, furrget it. Flip flop those numbers. That’s really the correct answer. P (Parallel): This part is really just a place holder to remind you to tilt your ears. Don’t furrget to make your ears parallel to the direction you will be jump. This helps with the aerodynamics fur a smoother landing. A (Angle): Going back to that transposed number you have, that no repurresents the angle you should arch your body to prepare fur the jump. W (Whole Number): That number you have just ended with is the whole number you should use to gauge the amount of treats you deserve after doing all that math.
I hope you can find this quick math lesson beneficial at some point in your nine lives. Until then, I’m going to beg fur my twenty four treats!
