Schrödinger’s cat toy

Earlier today Sage and I determined that if we had a perfectly mass-less cat toy it would be perfect for Schrödinger’s cat. Since F=ma that means that a=F/m. Since m is zero this means the cat toy should zoom off at infinite speeds! Or maybe not move at all. Since Schrödinger’s cat has an equal probability of being dead or alive this would make the perfect cat toy. If it’s dead and the toy doesn’t move who cares. If it’s alive I’m sure it would love to chase a toy that went everywhere. Since until you go home to check that you have fed it in the past year it has an equal probability of being both dead and alive (unless you are really bad about feeding it) you have the perfect combination.
