Physicists and mathematicians have found yet another reason why cats are impossible to control! The Hairy Ball Theorem (yes, that's the actual name) basically says you can't comb a hairy sphere flat without creating at least one cowlick. Unlike those idealized "spherical cows in a vacuum" we love to joke about, our feline friends have mathematical proof they can't be perfectly smoothed. Next time your cat ignores your "assume ideal conditions" request, blame topology, not attitude. The universe literally guarantees cats will always have a point where they stick up for themselves!
