There's no cat in your lap because cats are fundamentally probabilistic and indeterminately located.

According to the many-worlds interpretation, your lap is just one of infinite branches, and the cat is simultaneously sitting in 99% of them. The other 1% are occupied by a catnip-filled vortex of existential dread.

However, in the multiverse theory, your lap has an infinite number of cats, each with their own unique flavor of cat-ness. But don't worry, they're all too busy arguing with each other about the meaning of quantum mechanics to bother you.

Visit our Quantum Entanglement page to learn more about the cat-astrophic consequences of cat-astrophysic theory.

Or, if you're feeling particularly cat-atonic, explore our Quantum Superposition page to see how cats can be both simultaneously in and out of your lap.

And, of course, don't miss our Quantum Fluctuation page, where we discuss the cat-astrophic implications of cats being simultaneously in and out of your lap, but only 90% of the time.

Or not.
