Every time your cat's paw hits her toy string, it swings away from her. How does

this demonstrate Newton's third law of motion?

Objects with mass, such as your cat's paw and toy string, will require inertia.

Objects in action, such as the string toy, will experience force.

For every motion from your cat's paw, there is unbalanced inertia from the string.

For every action your cat makes, there is an equal and opposite reaction from the string.
