    If you threw the bundle at the ceiling, would it just bounce up and down between the ceiling and floor?
    Would it accelerate?

    the cat and the toast would rip apart causing mass blood and butter gore

    The mass of the cat, toast, butter and combination is irrelevant as they will always fall at ~9.81m/s/s.

    The distance dropped is however relevant, as is the alignment of the cat / toast hybrid.

    If you drop them with the cat&#39;s feet down from 1 inch then it will land cat down, but wobble slightly.

    If you do it from a greater distance say 1 foot, then the cat will be at a distinct angle by the time it hits the ground.

    If you drop them from a higher distance, say 10 feet then it will wobble markedly and eventually land sideways, given that the toast has had time to have effect.

    In short, if dropped from a small height then it will land with the side which was facing downwards still facing downwards, however it will be at a greater or lesser angle. Once you reach a critical height then the effect will be strong enough for the whole conglomeration to land on it&#39;s side.

    (I have taken the effect to be infinite for both cat and buttered toast, as the question suggests that they always land a certain way).

    I would propose that this height be known as Spider&#39;s Distance.

    I just feel sorry for all these cats all over the globe. They are probably thinking, &#39;What is all this toast strapped to my back and why am I continually getting dropped while facing the ceiling&#39;?

    Those that have survived are probably thinking, &#39;See that F*ng spider dude&#39;.
