Sometimes, in dealing with feline friends, they have unique questions that even Google doesn&#8217;t always have the answer to. This is probably the sole reason cat forums exist, but one kid who needed a 6th grade science project decided to skip the cat forums for answers and instead use the scientific method. Kaeden Henry, a sixth grader living in Florida, bravely pondered a question few (if any one) has been brave enough to ask: do cat buttholes touch every surface they sit on?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.upworthy.com\/people-reveal-the-unwritten-rules-of-their-households-and-they-re-delightful-bizarre\" target=\"_self\">Since cats do whatever the heck they want<\/a>, training them not to jump on kitchen counters is a feat even Hercules struggles to complete. These fierce felines don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re cooking dinner or trying to get comfy in bed. If they want to sit somewhere, they&#8217;re going to do it. The thought of cat butts on that expensive Serta pillow designed to feel like you&#8217;re sleeping on a cloud can gross people out, but thanks to Kaeden, you no longer have to wonder if the butthole itself is also making contact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\">\n<figure class=\"rkv-rebelmouse\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/good-worldwide.go-vip.net\/qa-upworthy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/origin-77934.jpg\" alt=\"cats; pets; cat lovers; cat parents; cats on counters; cat butts, pets, animals, humor, funny, science\" \/><figcaption>The scientific method as it was meant to be used.

And, since they own cats, the science experiment was pretty straightforward (and directly impactful).<\/p>\n<p>To complete the experiment, Henry and his mom, Kerry Hyde, bought non-toxic lipstick and applied it to each of their cat&#8217;s anuses. Then, the cats were given commands. (Commands&#8230; hilarious, right?)<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\">\n<figure class=\"rkv-rebelmouse\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/good-worldwide.go-vip.net\/qa-upworthy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/origin-77935.jpg\" alt=\"cats; pets; cat lovers; cat parents; cats on counters; cat butts, pets, animals, humor, funny, science\" \/><figcaption>What are you planning on doing with that lipstick?

Side note: Both cats have been trained since kittenhood with a variety of commands, they also know how to high-five, spin around, and speak.), they were compensated with lots of praise, pets, and their favorite treats, and the lipstick was removed with a baby wipe once we collected our data in just under 10 minutes,&#8221; Hyde wrote in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The results? Turns out that, no, cat buttholes do <em>not<\/em> touch every surface cats sit on. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s all take a collective sigh of relief while we go over the details. Kaeden&#8217;s experiment covered long-haired, short-haired, and medium-haired cats (if your cat is hairless, you better stock up on Clorox wipes just in case).<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"rm-embed embed-media\">\n<div class=\"fb-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Utopiakerri\/posts\/pfbid021MjXkQ8qv55wnYxJ7gaY4M92fFfbpixh5oNhfWvEbToDs7nRcCPt47jDxSjizGQXl\" data-width=\"552\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;His results and general findings: Long and medium haired cat\u2019s buttholes made NO contact with soft or hard surfaces at all. Short haired cats made NO contact on hard surfaces. But we did see evidence of a slight smear on the soft bedding surface. Conclusion, if you have a short haired cat and they may be lying on a pile of laundry, an unmade bed, or other soft uneven surface, then their butthole MAY touch those surfaces!&#8221; Hyde shares.<\/p>\n<p>Now every curious cat owner can rest easy knowing that as long as their cat has hair, their bare bottom balloon knot is not touching the majority of surfaces in their home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\">\n<figure class=\"rkv-rebelmouse\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/good-worldwide.go-vip.net\/qa-upworthy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/origin-77936.jpg\" alt=\"cats; pets; cat lovers; cat parents; cats on counters; cat butts, pets, animals, humor, funny, science\" \/><figcaption>You want me to sit on that?
