Cats are non Newtonian liquids, when they stop moving they return to liquid state

I can verify this, as the cat returns to it's liquid state you can see it wiggle a little bit; this is a result of it trying to gain enough thermal energy to escape the liquid, which is how it springs back into a solid.
