The perfect visual representation of catalytic hydrogenation—where cats apparently do it better than palladium. The feline is labeled as a complex organic molecule with R-groups for limbs while hydrogen atoms hover beneath, ready to be added across a double bond. In reality, chemists spend thousands on precious metal catalysts when clearly they should just be recruiting lab cats. Would save on heating costs too, since the reaction could run at purr-fect temperature. The only downside? Your product yield depends entirely on whether the cat feels like participating that day.
