Best Answer

It really has nothing to do with the cat or the balloon, at least not directly. When there is enough static electricity present, a balloon will stick to a cat's fur. The static electricity is usually generated by lightly rubbing the balloon on the cat's body, and may be enhanced if the air is dry (such as in dry heat in a house).

If you suspend two balloons from a meter stick with different volumes of air--will it balance or lean more to one side---and which side?

If you mean the air we breathe, the meter stick will lean towards the balloon with the greater volume of air in it. However, if you fill the balloons with helium, the meter stick will lean toward the balloon with less helium, since helium makes balloons float.
