My experiment is about the force of impact that cats recieve on their paws when falling from something, such as the top of the fridge. I don't want to use a real cat, so i need something to replace it. I've considered those craft bags with the zippers and put the amount of weight in there. Please help!!! ***greatly appreciate it***
 
that's exactly what you should do!! if not that then maybe look up your experiment online! or or you could use the estimation of how much a healthy cat weighs and how high the fridge is from the floor and then do the math for your experiment!!
 
Assuming that your cat has mass m has 4 feet and doesn't fall through the floor
it's mg/4
 
A dog :P

You could get a back of sand and put four legs on it.

Small pillow stuffed with things to make the weight.

Water balloon - but it might pop.

Wood carving.

Teddy Cat with weights in it.

Have fun. =P
 
but something like harden mud or something fragile like chips or something with weight. Use something about the same weight as the cat. Use a clay as a model of a cat and check the fake looking legs for cracks and stuff when you drop it and you cat won't die if you drop it that high, but that is cruel so don't.
