THE EARTH IS NOT ROUND

The earth is NOT round.

I am NOT round.

The earth is an ellipsoid.

The simplest definition of an ellipsoid is that it is "the 3D equivalent of an ellipse".  

The other definitions are far too complex for me, a kitty cat, to explain or share here, 
because I did not understand them at all, meowz.

And according to NOAA, the earth, as an ellipsoid, 
also has a slight bulge at the middle.

Mine Mommy says that appears to describe me quite well,
though she often says I am round and big, and too round and too big.



If you choose to comment, meowz,
I am sensitive, and words matter, kindness matters,
meowz, my roundness or ellipsoid-ness
is really a very purrsonal matter, meowz.

  2. June, I think you're purrfect! I have become much "rounder" in the past few years and you know what? Life is too short to fixate on our body shape/size. We, as females of all species, need to drop the body shaming (and the patriarchal dictates) for the bs it is. ❤️❤️❤️

  13. In school, we called the Earth an "oblate spheroid". That also describes how it bulges slightly at the equator away from the poles, but also that the bulge doesn't form a proper ellipsoid (i.e., a locus of points equidistant around two focus points, rotated around the line between the to focus points - funny that I still know that definition).
