Schrodinger’s Cats
(from
Prosthetic Amalgams)
They called them Schrodinger’s cats and they never failed to amaze me, even with all I’ve seen in my long life. The neocat lifeforms were fully designed amalgams of biology, physics and artificial intelligence. It was their behavior more than anything that intrigued me. They would warily approach an electrical outlet as if stalking it and then lap at it with their long blue tongues as if it were a bowl of milk -- the overhead lights flickering with each touch of those tongues.
