So the paper about cats being liquid and solid was actually mentioned in a science education/comedy podcast I listen to called Let's Learn Everything. Here's a link to a PBS article written by the author of that paper. As a very brief summary, the definition of a liquid is roughly "it fits to the shape of a container" which, given the right factors and enough time (called the "relaxation time" in rheology, which is the science of how things flow) cats can shape themselves to fit into containers. There's also discussion about how on a huge enough time scale even mountains can seem to flow, but this is a subreddit dedicated to talking about a bald man who rides a stationary bike and talks about how his hedgehogs keep losing to bison, so I'll leave things here. Just thought it was a fun and interesting topic.
