Does this mean that the cat is God?
(They all think they are anyway.)

Lovely. Einstein's cat sitting on the 'fabric' of spacetime and very much 'alive' unlike Schrodinger's cat which we don't know whether it is 'alive' or 'dead'!

Ahhhhhh now we get the joke. Man, those philosophers sure have some really deep jokes sometimes. I wonder how many have gone over our heads in all these thousands of years!

That cat must be moving very fast, the spacetime has gone to plaid.

If it's not moving very fast it's simply extremely massive.
