    It's called "Schrodinger's Cat Litter Box". If you don't observe it, you don't have to change it ...

      Trouble will arise when the stench gets out of the box, then you KNOW there is a poop in there.

        Unfortunately the cat still observes it, thus collapsing the quantum state into various poop states. Hmmm, I think I just discovered a flaw in Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment. The cat observes itself - it observes itself to be alive, or it doesn't observe itself at all. Which adds a metaphysical complexity - if dead, does it not observe itself, or does it observe itself as being dead? And another complexity - is that cat sufficiently self-conscious to even be able to observe itself? Does observing a quantum state require a certain level of consciousness? I think I'll go back to bed now. :~

          Have you ever even met a cat? After four decades of being clients of and staff to several cats, I can safely assert that cats have more self-density (self awareness per pound body weight) than any other living creature.

            Huh? Oh I see, you're talking about Louisiana, Mississippi and West Virginia.
