Cats presumably have a reputation for having nine lives because they are observed in situations where they appear to narrowly escape dying, by a hair’s-breadth chance.
I was comparing this to quantum immortality, while making an indirect reference to Schrodinger’s cat as well… implying that Schrodinger’s cat always turns up alive, due to cats’ quantum immortality-based nine-lives capability. ;-)
Also anecdotally, fulfilled curiosity has made catkind among the first species to perfect resurrection.
Or at least quantum immortality.
This one I don’t get. Explain?

(Cat-thropic principle, perhaps?)
Ailuric principle. (anthropos = human, ailouros = cat)
