NY Times succumbs to feline overlords

It prints an article about research which has told us just how cats drink water.

It’s actually pretty fascinating if you’ve ever watched your cat crouch in front of a water bowl (or a faucet, for that matter). For one thing, while a cat’s tongue has hairs used for grooming, the tip is smooth. I didn’t know that.

What I really like is this sentence:

The robot that mimicked the cat’s tongue was built for an experiment on the International Space Station, and the engineers simply borrowed it from a neighboring lab.

Crossover!
