The two newspaper articles mentioned in the article are available on the WWW. I didn't include direct external links for them as they had to be found through a search.

There should probably be a link made here to the page for the band Curiosity Killed the Cat. --Madbehemoth 18:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Is there a continue to it because I've heard that it is: Curiosity killed the cat, and _____ returned it back. But I couldn't remember the word. Ahmedbma 08:14, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

According to this query, there's no such usage. -- Szvest 14:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC) User:FayssalF/Sign

Satisfaction brought it back,

also, i have heard a different definition, Basically, "Curiosity killed the cat: i was Curious, sorry you cat died though." 70.228.58.135 21:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I have also heard that "Satisfaction brought it back", which makes sense within the context of a nine-lived feline. yarn.wench 24.63.55.153 05:15, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Schrödinger's cat

I always assumed there was some link between this phrase and the famous Schrödinger's cat experiment, i.e. the cat could be presumed to be both dead and alive while the box remained closed, but as soon as curiosity got the better of you and you looked inside, it became dead. However, if this phrase was first used in 1916 then they can't be related... Unless Schrödinger got his idea from the phrase? Does anyone know? Cheers — SteveRwanda 17:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
