Update — Sunday June 3, 2007: Now I know who created this LOLCat image — see below the image for details!
Tired: Schrodinger’s Cat. Wired: Schrodinger’s LOLCAT!
Click to see the image on its original Flickr page. Photo courtesy of Miss Fipi Lele.
(Wondering what a LOLcat is? Start here, then go here.)
Who’s Behind This Picture?
Three people are behind this image:
- Justin Wick came up with the idea
- Kevin Steele, with whom I used to work at Mackerel Interactive Multimedia, took the photo, which is of his cat Xena.
- Dan “dantekgeek” Lurie, whom I know from the #joiito IRC channel, put it all together. Here’s the Flickr page where it first appeared.

You are right, observing the cat collapses the quantum probability to a single state.
Heh, nice one Joey. Have you noticed how much this pic got “digged”? Over 1000! Damn, I know a guy who got majorly dugg…
is there a high resolution version of this image? đ
That is some funny funny stuff. Thnx
obviously the collapsed state is now the schro-cat state….. duhh…
a high res image would be so cool. this is definitely one of the best LOLcats I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a lot!
FYI: The original image is about 2 megapixels, about 1400 pixels square.
Iâm glad everyone is enjoying this. Iâve enjoyed the various captions Iâve read. I certainly was aware of the Shrödingerâs cat reading of the image when I first finished and posted the uncaptioned picture a year ago.
The cat is Xena. She will be 10 years old this summer.
Hi Joey!
So she’s expecting?
