The Setup

Imagine a cat confined within a box, along with a hammer and a vial of cyanide. Your Geiger counter is employed to check for any radioactive decay. Clearly, this scenario was devised by a rather disturbed genius with a penchant for chaos.

This raises a multitude of questions:

• Who keeps cyanide in their kitchen?
• Why would I need a Geiger counter? Am I a plutonium dealer or a Pinterest craft enthusiast?
• How does one create a situation where a hammer and a vial collide within a box?

And most importantly, how do you convince a cat to enter a box when it won't even step into a tuna-scented carrier for a vet visit?

The Cat Box Proposal

Let’s simplify the thought experiment: envision a litter box instead. Cats will willingly enter that. In their minds, they find amusement in your futile attempts to sift through their waste, seeking out the treasures hidden within.

Your feline companion is fully aware of your relentless scooping efforts—day after day, you prefer the clumping litter to minimize the mess. Those tiny clay particles, unlike radioactive ones, are indestructible. Just like your cat, they remain indefinitely.

A dirty house is a sure sign your cat is thriving, albeit in a way that may feel like a slight against you. Even when you're not observing, you know your cat is alive, probably laughing at your efforts in secret.

Cats and Spacetime

Long ago, cats recognized their superiority over humans who cater to their every whim. Even when presenting you with a dead rodent, they remind you of their prowess.

Consider your daily routines: do you take twenty baths a day? Have you mastered bathing without plumbing? Can you provide your feline with a meal without extensive preparation? Cats gather their resources effortlessly, embodying their inherent superiority.

Cat Yoga

Your cat is a natural yogi, effortlessly assuming poses that leave you in awe. If you can match a cat’s dexterity and grace, consider yourself extraordinary.

Yoga? Your cat excels at stretching and flexing muscles in ways that you may find impossible.

Bast and the Legacy of Cats

In ancient Egypt, the goddess Bastet was revered, reflecting the high status of cats in society. Sadly, this reverence devolved into a cycle of inhumane practices, leading to the breeding and mummification of cats.

If you believe that lessons were learned regarding the gratitude of cats for centuries of worship, think again. Cats possess nine lives and hold grudges through each one.

Legend has it that cats will continue to require their litter boxes cleaned until the mythical Leo-Neo cat emerges. This cat, regardless of gender, will be the liberator of humans from feline servitude—or perhaps it will be the other way around, as the true nature of reality remains elusive.

Simultaneously in the Box and Out the Door

Leo-Neo will reveal the truth of existence in the form of two pills: one red, one blue. Each conscious being must make a choice.

These pills will be hidden away in a box, and your decision must be made without observation. In a playful twist, these pills will be both red and blue at once. No purple states allowed!

Ah, but if you’re a cat, congratulations! Cheating is just part of the game.
