Pavlov's Dogs meet Schrödinger's Cat

The thought occurred to me: What would happen if Pavlov's Dogs met Schrödinger's Cat.
I didn't want to google it so I could discuss it instead.
What do you think?

On the technical side of things: Pavlov's Dogs would be long dead now and Schrödinger's Cat never actually existed ( 'twas but a thought experiment).

There would be two simultaneous but different results, since Schrödinger's Cat both does and does not exist at the same time.

clearly the dog will think cause a ruckus, knock the poison over and kill the cat, regardless if the poison was knocked over by chance.

Yeh, That would make for a great cartoon. I'm going to follow up on that one.

The dog would drool, and the cat might be dead.

You could, of course, but when you opened the box would the criticism be accurate?

Well that would depend on the viewer.

That was great! I don't know much about Romney, but it would have been funny were it about any relatively bland politician.
