Abstract
How is a cat able to turn around and right itself
while in free fall, when no external torque is available?
The cat is not a rigid body; it is able to alter its moment
of inertia by internal motions; this causes its body to rotate.
We sketch some of the mathematics involved
in modelling this and related mechanical phenomena.
