I repeated the above experiment with a piece of buttered toast attached to the yellow side of a poof ball with wire ties (I would have used duct tape, but that is against the rules). As with the cat/poof experiment, the test instrument hung about 8cm above the floor, spinning rapidly. Eventually the toast flew into pieces, at which time the ball came to rest, purple side down, on the floor. Pending federal funding, I wish to conduct the following experiments:

1. Repeat the toast experiment with a more robust bread product.

2. Measure the temperature of spinning cat/poof or toast/poof systems to see if the phenomenon is exo- or endothermic.

3. Develop a prismatic test object, so that toast, cats and poof balls can be analyzed in a single experimental matrix.

4. Repeat the experiment with the smaller 4-inch poof balls with a buttered English muffin half and a kitten.

5. Repeat the experiment in the southern hemisphere to see if the system spins in the opposite direction.

I am sure that the span of human understanding will greatly increase when my grant proposal is fully funded.
