There's no specific statement that the cat isn't stuffed so it could still be dead.

If you look carefully, you can see that this is also a perfect example of quantum tunneling; the cat's body's rear portion is actually outside of the box.

Fascinating point IR.
Of course observing all this means it's not like that anymore.

For some things, there are loopholes in quantum theory; there's a branch called "weak measurement amplification" or "weak value amplification" where it's possible to get quantum measurements without necessarily collapsing the probability function

I was about to feed Schrodinger's Cat and just as I was about to open the box when there was a violent sonic boom made by a Russian fighter plane, sent by Putin to interfere with the democratic process.
It caused a massive discontinuity in the space time continuum.
I was completely disoriented, without sight, hearing or feeling.
When my senses returned, I found myself in the middle of an argument in the Champlain Towers condo collapse thread.
I never did get to feed the damm cat, but if it had been fed, the paradox would have been resolved and if it hadn't been fed;
Do the math. It's been in the box since 1935. If it hasn't died of old age, it has died of starvation.
PETA should know about Schrodinger's Cat.
By the way, is that a cat on the right or just a fanciful reflection on what may have been?
Note to self: Stay away from the condo thread for awhile. It is becoming unsafe for my mental balance.

Not just a good idea;
It's the LAW!

There's a non-zero probability that food can tunnel into the box ![[shocked]](/data/assets/smilies/shocked.gif "[shocked] [shocked]")
