There is no way for the cat/toast assembly to land and maintain the 2 rules, ergo the cat can never land. There is conjecture that, as with Schrödinger's cat, this can only happen when the result hasn't been observed, which would explain how cats manage to get into high cupboards when you aren't looking.
