Description World Cat Day Bundle
If we (or the majority of people on the internet) had our way, every day would be World Cat Day. In fact, there are several days on which the clever rulers of the pet kingdom are celebrated: In addition to February 17, March 1 and many other national holidays, World Cat Day on August 8 in particular is all about cats.
The International Cat Day on August 8 was established in 2002 by the International Fund for Animal Welfare to draw attention to the needs of the estimated 500 million domestic cats. On this day, many cat owners devote even more attention to their pets than usual (yes, you can) and make them happy with small gifts and treats. But geeks and nerds don't just worship their own felines, they also pay homage to a cat that is neither dead nor alive. We are, of course, talking about Schrödinger's cat.
In the thought experiment set up by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, the structure of which you can here a cat can be alive and dead at the same time. In addition to countless interpretations by renowned scientists, the equation of a cat with a zombie has become particularly popular in pop culture.
As complex physical phenomena are best illustrated by cuddly soft toys, Schrödinger's cat should find a home in your home by World Cat Day at the latest. To celebrate the day, you will also receive the matching mug with Schrödinger's cat free of charge.
- The cute Schrödinger's cat made of plush hides more than meets the eye under its tabby fur. As soon as you open the zipper on the animal's belly and turn it inside out (that sounds worse than it is ;) ), you are no longer holding a living cat in your hand, but a deceased cat fluttering its little wings towards the next of its seven lives. If you, as a cat fan, have satisfied your physical curiosity, you can of course return the cat to its original state. Or you can stop in the middle, in which case it really is a zombie cat ;)
- The Schrödinger's cat mug also alludes to the experiment from quantum physics, with the last word of the lettering "Schrödinger's cat is ..." both as "alive"as well as "dead" can be read. This means that the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. Of course, that doesn't stop you from enjoying a hot coffee or something else from your free cup.
We wish you and your cat, who we hope is not a zombie, a happy World Cat Day! If you are looking for more about Schrödinger's cat, we have here a few things for you.
