Letter: Schrödinger's paradox is settled by actual cats

From Bill Smith, Helsby, Cheshire, UK

I have a solution to Schrödinger's cat-in-a-box paradox, based on the following verifiable observations. When I wish to use my armchair, I find our cat asleep on it. When I wish to use my study, the cat is asleep on my chair. When I go to bed, the cat is sleeping on my bed.

Therefore the answer to Schrödinger's paradox is surely that the cat is not dead, but merely sleeping. Furthermore, it is not even in the box, it's where it's not supposed to be.

I hope that settles the matter.
