Schrödinger's cat

 

Schrödinger's cat - digital art, George Roberts October 2025

Quantum physics is all very well but no one explains why Erwin Schrödinger' chose a cat to put in that box. He could have secreted a miniature Schnauzer or an okapi or even a badger in a sealed box but instead opted for a domestic cat. Can animals only exist in multiple states in boxes or would a tied sack have sufficed for this particular mind experiment?  

There is no accounting for taste in pet husbandry and packaging at the Planck scale!
