cat in a box
cat-in-the-box

The box is open and the beast in the photo is certainly alive, but other questions remain unanswered:

  • Why do cats like boxes so much?
  • Which of my three near-identical cats is it?
  • Why didn’t I think to call them Schrödinger, Heisenberg and Planck?
  • Why do we bother to name cats that can’t be told apart and won’t respond anyway?
