>Have we ever heard of anything like this?
>"How's the cat been taking to it?"

>Doesn't ring a bell to you.
>"Oh, the cat's great," the first fairy says. "He's real calm about it all."
>"It wouldn't hurt him," the tall fairy says. "Don't worry."
>The fairy fairy nods. "It's just, sometimes he'd be in the box. And sometimes he wouldn't be."
>"If we could get it to work," the second fairy chimes in.
>The first fairy skewers another chunk of pie on her fork, then looks towards the tall fairy. "Hey, Meadow, where's the cat supposed to go, anyway? When it's not in the box?"
>"Ah, um..." She fidgets, then frowns. "I'm, uh... I'm a little uncertain."
>"...but nowhere bad!" she hastily adds.

>"Hmmm, maybe you could ask a witch?"

>"Think they'd know?" the first fairy says.
>Her neighbor shrugs. "Witches know all kinds of weird stuff."
>"No way!" the green-haired fairy says. "This is way different from their kind of magic. Isn't it, Meadow?"
>Meadow jumps a little. "Ah, er- I think so."

>The green-haired fairy gives you a long hard look. "Maybe."
>"Is that really true?" Meadow asks. "About knowing cats better than anyone, I mean. Would you be able to tell for sure whether this cat really is a Schrodinger Cat?"
>"I told you it was!" the green-haired fairy cries. She actually looks a little hurt.

>Glance to the green-haired faerie: "How did you identify it?"

>"I heard the witch say it herself," she replies. "She said her cat was named after this old smart person. And Schrodinger's an old smart person, right?" She looks rather smug. "I even went and asked a kappa about it, and they know all about smart people, so there!"

>"Really?" one of the fairies says.
>"Wait just a minute!" the green-haired fairy cries, putting her hands on her hips. "How could you know that if you hadn't seen him as you claim," she adds pointedly, looking rather satisfied with herself. You get a few uncertain looks from some of the other fairies.

>"He's resting over here," Cloudy Meadow says, moving towards the large cardboard box.
>"Hold it!" the green-haired fairy snaps. Cloudy Meadow freezes mid-stride. "Let's see you weasel your way out of this one, spy!"

> "What are you talking about? I never said anything 'bout never seeing him. You're the one who claimed that I've never seen him, and we've just met. Now how could you know that I don't know if you don't know what I know about knowing anything about that cat that we both know I don't know?"

>Yeah, even you're not quite certain what you just said.
>One of the other fairies finishes off her pie, stands up, and walks towards the box. "C'mon," she says, waving you over.

>You follow the fairy over to the box. She lifts the top and peeks into it almost like she were hoping that maybe this time, he wouldn't be there. Then she shrugs and sighs.
>Looking into the box yourself, you see a small white cat curled up in the corner, and possibly napping. As best you can tell, it looks just like the picture you were shown earlier.
