Trivia: Newton, Inventor of the Cat Flap Isaac Newton purportedly invented the cat flap. He was said to put two cat flaps on his door, a large one and a small one, for his two pet cats.

I was wondering the same thing.Maybe Newton wasn't as much of a genius as we all thought. :) Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.) THAT is why it was so funny! Like Einstein's wife having to paint a large sign on his front door "Einstein Lives Here" so he knows which house to come back home from his walks! (maybe apocryphal, I've heard many variations of this story) Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.) The story is a urban (egghead) legend. I've read the same thing about Einstein and Freud.
