need help with science....

I love science but I need help..

One quart of cat kibble, each piece .25 inches square, will cover how much area when spilled by your cat????

Ed wants to know.....He just can't use a calculator....no opposable thumbs....!!!

May I revise the question slightly? 1/3 cup of cat kibble, each piece .25 inches square ... will cover how much area after being pushed from the dish onto the floor by the cat? I don't know how she does it - if she just doesn't like certain pieces once she gets them into her mouth, and drops them on the floor? Or if she pushes her nose too deeply into the dish, and some of the kibble goes over the edge? And how is it that a few pieces are always left on the rim of the dish, and some make it all the way onto the floor? Silly kitty!

Along those same lines ... how is it that even though I put a cotton rug under the litter pan to catch what she kicks over the side - why is it that there is cat box filler under the cotton rug?

Hmmmm....

The amount of area covered by spilt kibble depends on the size of the kibble, the density and the height the kibble is dropped from. The little fishies in the Seafood flavored Friskies tend to travel the farthest. They want into the water dish!

Ed will pick and choose the 'flavors' he wants, I have experimented with Friskies Indoor Style-He leave the little green balls behind.

Litter travels under the rug by osmosis and the cat raking his claws across the rug after he is done.

The scratching is a trait inbred by thousand of years of pooping outdoors.
