That kitten's got a PhD in electrophysics! During thunderstorms, cats instinctively stand on their hind legs to minimize the electric potential difference across their bodies. It's like nature's built-in lightning protection system!

The gradient between head and tail could create a dangerous current path through vital organs if lightning strikes nearby. Standing upright reduces this risk by shortening the horizontal distance. Smart kitty warning Bob about this shocking science fact while the other cat is already in survival mode!

Next time you see a cat suddenly go bipedal during a storm, don't laugh—they're just being the fuzzy little electrical engineers nature intended!
