While humans have butt cheeks, clothing, and a sense of modesty to prevent their buttholes from being on display all the time, cats just have tails (which they love to stick straight up in the air). As a result, you probably see your cat’s anus pretty often and all that exposure might make you dwell on a certain distressing question: Is my cat’s foulest orifice brushing directly against my pillow, my kitchen counter, and every single other surface my cat perches on?
According to sixth-grader Kaeden Griffin, the answer is probably no. As PopSugar reports, Griffin launched an innovative experiment to find out just how much contact a cat’s butthole actually has with its surroundings. First, he and his mom, Kerry, covered the buttholes of their two cats one medium-haired and one short-haired with red, nontoxic lipstick. They then directed the well-trained pets to sit on sheets of paper placed over different surfaces and perform a series of actions

If you’ve also got cat buttholes on the mind and if you do, I’m sorry you’re not alone. In fact. Kaeden Griffin, a sixth grader in Tennessee, did a whole science project about cat bottoms.

So I’m glad Kaeden had the good fortune of getting to the bottom of this giant mystery.
