In my experience cats see two things in boxes.
The first thing they see is lotsandlotsandlots of fun.
The second thing they see is a litter tray.

I shall see what I can do.
I won't promise anything, depends on how many we print, when we get around to it.

Haha! That's my second favouritest post of the day.
So if it's only confiscated, when are you getting it back?

It's only the first draft.
But I haven't bothered putting the edited version online anywhere yet.

the flaw in that thoery is that if you leave a cat in a box for long enough without opening it
it will always be dead.

isnt that
there is no alive or dead but ongoing and continous cat alive/dead states at the same moment

Sort of
It exists in a state of quantum flux, neither one thing nor the other until the box is opened and the act of observing makes the waveforms collapse into one or other of the probabilities.
Schroedinger meant it as a satire on quantum physics but it turned out to be a rather good analogy for it and he went on to become one of the foremost quantum physicists (and won the Nobel Prize while he was at it, but they didn't know until they looked in the envelope).

does that cat know
if its alive or dead. that could be interesting.
mmmm no wonder they get 9 lives guess you gotta work it out

He wasn't going to win it
but by observing it they changed the outcome.

you're right
Schroedinger wanted to say that you can't translate quantum dynamics onto macroscopic objects that easily, because the outcome is almost always complete bollocks.

Did Schrödinger mention Airholes?
Adequate Food... A Litter Tray.. Or was he just a cruel Sod who hated Cats?

as Terry Pratchett wrote:
"Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious."

You should probably note
that it's not just a cat in a box. There's also a gadget which gives a 50-50 chance of releasing poison to kill the cat within the time of the experiment. That's what makes it an equal chance of alive or dead.
