Yeah, and it will continue to spin (at least as long as the cat is alive) as
each side asserts it's dominion over the system.  All we have to do is
figure out how to keep the cat fed (and remove the resultant wastes), attach
a generator, and off we go!  :-)

I'm reminded of a reader's respose page at the back of Omni magazine a
decade or two ago regarding methods by which to achieve perpetual motion...

Consider:
    - Buttered toast always lands butter side down.
    - Cats always land on their feet.

Task:
    - Strap two pieces of buttered toast to the back of a cat (butter side
out) and drop the cat.

Outcome:
    - It should hover.
