Let's just say you know a time-traveling cat...
Kind of like the one in Heinlein books...

So this cat who can walk through walls, travel through time and see the future...would you pay more attention to this cat than you would other cats?

1. All cats can do that, plus talk to ghosts. They just do it when we aren't looking.

3. I agree that all cats can do that, but I don't think they do it when we're not looking.
I think they just prefer chasing imaginary objects and sleeping in the laundry basket.

2. What do you think is going on when your cat disappears and can't be found?

4. There is only One Cat.
Not only can it time-travel, it can also change shape and color. The combination of these abilities makes it appear there are millions of cats in the world instead of a single, very busy one.

6. Just like the one-electron-universe theory posited by Feynman and Wheeler...
only with cats.

7. Exactly!
Schrodinger was getting close to the truth, but didn't take the experiment far enough.

9. If you know cats, you know that Time is a malleable commodity to them.
I'm fairly certain, even though I have absolutely no sustaining evidence to support this, that my cats have been working on creating an eleventh-dimension null matter generator in the basement.


And I swear to God I've seen the very same animal in two places at the same time, without actually physically moving from one place to another, by any way discernible by measuring devices.
