Yep, it was.
All three cats are on the bed with me. A rare and unstable situation. Radioactive, even. Any moment, a random cat will shoot off, returning the bed element to its stable two-cat state.

As predicted, the three-cat system has a half-life of approximately one minute. Stability restored.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You're lucky there weren't a large number of three-cat beds nearby. You could have had a chain-reaction and cat-splosion.

It's a risk one has to take in the field of cat science. Cat-splosions are always a possibility. Several researchers have been overcome by the resulting fur fallout.

Have you discovered a difference in fur half-life between the different cat elements in your study?

My own non-scientific study (which is ongoing) suggests that fur has a half-life longer than that of uranium.

It varies based on contrast level with its surroundings.

Black fur half-life is difficult to study, as it seems to disappear more readily in the environment. White fur half-life, as co-researcher Steph mentioned in the above study [1], seems to be similar to uranium. Or glitter.

It is so fucking sad that I immediately edited the reference for AMA style. (For the record, it would read: "Steph LB. I thought this shirt was clean: a study of the effects of laundering on fur deposits in common fabrics. Ann Household Animal Fur Res 2014." And would need the appropriate MEDLINE ID or doi number.) (God help me.)

Oh, Steph, I know. As I was writing it, I was thinking, "This is so not IEEE style."
