    That does not need to be the case (seeing that you probably meant this in jest, I still will take it on). Assuming the cat is already a higher dimensional being, which I feel is valid as it can move between them.

    Imagine a Cube going through a 2D plane. You would see a cross section of the cube depending on the angle it goes through. The same would be the case for a hypercube in 4D and 3D (different effect as different cross section though).

    So I would argue the comic is correct.

      Yeah it’s a joke, it would all depend.

      Can you imagine if you had a 4D cat and it just presented normally most of the time then one day rotated or moved along a 4D axis? It would be terrifying.

      I’ve played 4D golf so I feel like I’m qualified as an expert in this space (seriously though great game and really helps with understanding this kind of stuff)
