Cats really are just like people..
Thanks to a miracle of technology, it is now possible to translate the thoughts of a cat into human speech. This demonstration shows that cats really do think and behave in exactly the same way as people. I had a similar conversation with a photocopier only a few days ago. Unfortunately, owing to design limitations, the software can only produce a rather unattractive cockney accent. Also I can assure you that Columbo does not use the sort of foul language deployed by this otherwise charming animal.
Thanks to Jennifer Ouellette for this one..

NB cats have also published papers; Google the tail (sic) of Hetherington and Willard (1975), “Two-, three- and four-atom exchange effects in bcc 3-He”.

I feel obliged by pedantry and geekiness to point out that the creator of the first video can’t be a true cat lover… that’s a female!

Did Schroedinger actually have a cat?

Schrodinger actually had two cats. One was called Lucky and the other wasn’t.

Seen attached to a lamppost:
“Missing cat, tabby, blind in one eye, no tail, one ear, walks with a limp. Answers to ‘Lucky’.”

Peter, this is priceless. I will have to send you a bill for the number of hours of lost work it’s caused in my part of the world.

You’ll find it can be charged to FEC (Fantastically Entertaining Cat).
