If you check more carefully, you will discover that ordinary household
cats are toroidal. To be precise, they are fuzzy little tubes.

Only partly fuzzy.

Granted, if you reach down the cat's throat, grab the tail, and crack it
like a whip, you end up with a mostly shiny outside, you also end up
with the feet in an unusable position, and all running does is put the
fur back on the outside again. Thus this attempt at streamlining a cat
is of no _practical_ utility.

That is the difference between pure and applied science.
