Reminds me of a quantum physics theory:
Here's Schrödinger's (theoretical) experiment: We place a living cat into a steel chamber, along with a device containing a vial of hydrocyanic acid. There is, in the chamber, a very small amount of a radioactive substance. If even a single atom of the substance decays during the test period, a relay mechanism will trip a hammer, which will, in turn, break the vial and kill the cat. The observer cannot know whether or not an atom of the substance has decayed, and consequently, cannot know whether the vial has been broken, the hydrocyanic acid released, and the cat killed. Since we cannot know, the cat is both dead and alive according to quantum law, in a superposition of states. It is only when we break open the box and learn the condition of the cat that the superposition is lost, and the cat becomes one or the other (dead or alive). This situation is sometimes called quantum indeterminacy or the observer's paradox: the observation or measurement itself affects an outcome, so that it can never be known what the outcome would have been if it were not observed.
We know that superposition actually occurs at the subatomic level, because there are observable effects of interference, in which a single particle is demonstrated to be in multiple locations simultaneously. What that fact implies about the nature of reality on the observable level (cats, for example, as opposed to electrons) is one of the stickiest areas of quantum physics. Schrödinger himself is rumored to have said, later in life, that he wished he had never met that cat.

I assume only one, as soon as you put one cat into the box , the box is no longer empty !!!!

If you put them in at the same time.. then as many as you can fit, cos if you put them in one at a time..... the box isnt empty after the first one!!
get me??

Ans 1: 1 because once the 1 is in it isnt empty anymore.
Ans 2: It depends how fine you liquidise them.

Why???If your going to do something cruel , like put thme in a box and leave them somewhere , just take them to the SPCA. Dont dump thme somewhere of if your going somewhere and taking them with you , get a cat carrier.

Depends - how many bricks will you place in the box also?
