“So is the cat dead or alive?”

I have thought for a long time that Schrodinger made an unfortunate choice by putting a sentient being in that box, rather than, say, a light that would either be on or off depending on a random radioactive decay event. That’s because the cat itself is an observing system (if it is alive and awake). If an observation collapses a superposition, the cat itself will do the job.

Bring a Costco rotisserie chicken home and you’ll find out right away if your cat is alive
