1954 Karlsson Cat Levitator



Flickr user Mr. Thinktank posted this "invention" for levitating cats.
Cats love anti gravity. I bet you didn't know that. This device was invented by Swedish immigrant Per Karlsson in the early 50s, and a small series was produced in Wellington for a while. But people didn't go for it as much as Karlsson had hoped; maybe because they didn't fancy having the cat hover around too much. In case you're wondering what the little cap with the "antlers" is the cat is wearing on its head, it's the mind reader. The cat steers the machine with her thoughts, because, how else would she.

The picture is part of a marvelous set of photographs in his Flickr set Old Anti Gravity Cruisers of New Zealand. Link -via Everlasting Blort

So, now she can sit spread eagled like all the guys on the subway and the bus and at the theater! I had some clown try to encroach on my space at a show, one time. Let's just say "I won".

The problem with these, as I recall from the 70s, is that unless you have a backside like an 11 year old boy, it's one of the least flattering pieces of apparel when viewed from behind.
