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. ;-)
Anecdotally, he fitness pressure of curiosity on cats appears to be negative.
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)
