Schroedinger The Wonder Cat: The Life and Times of Schroedinger J

SCHROEDINGER THE WONDER CAT

is the story of fourteen years of living with the world's most amazing feline. His actions and antics are chronicled and there are many pictures of beings with whom he has had relationships and places he has been. He is truly a member of our family and we treat him as an equal - at least most of the time - and never refer to him as a pet as that would be demeaning to him. It is also the story of our lives and how we interact with Schroedinger. How he came to live with me, how he grew up, how our lives changed when Sandy, my wife, joined us, how we moved and how we live together.

The chapter, "SCHROEDINGER GROWING UP", clearly demonstrates his ability to think, reason and make decisions. It will astound you, but not as much as it did me when I saw him gloating at me with that crazy cat smile. Every new day with Schroedinger brings us joy and laughter and we delight in his company. He has added a new dimension to our lives and we are almost always grateful for his presence.

The author, Aaron Rosen, that's me, was born on April 18, 1937 in Philadelphia, PA. I went to Overbrook High in the same years as Wilt The Stilt, but didn't know him personally as I was neither a jock nor a sports fan. I went to MIT from 1955-1959, but my degree is in 1961 because I was a bit of a screw up and that's a bit of an understatement. I came to California in 1959 and went to work on the XB-70 bomber and the X-15 rocket research aircraft. Computers were relatively new and I became interested in programming. Mostly my computer work was related to aircraft and space vehicles. I retired when I was 40, moved to the country, got divorced and went back to work. Along the way I owned and operated three tropical fish stores. I finally wound up living alone on a cattle ranch on a hilltop and that's when I started to write. It got lonely - the cattle didn't talk much - so I found Schroedinger and life took a turn for the better. It got orders of magnitude better when I met my now wife, Sandy. She encouraged me in my writing and now, life couldn't be better. Well, it could be if we all had new bodies, but the same brains.
