It's a point which is often neglected. Just to be clear though, the
issue is more subtle than I'm making it sound and AFAIK most
interpretations which give a deterministic state to the cat have run
into problems (for instance when incorporating them into special
relativity). Also such interpretations are necessarily non-local.

Yeah, IANAP (I am not a physicist) but as far as I'm aware this is
correct. Although I think there's some interpretations which describe
why this is the case perfectly well, they just might come with other
philosophical implications that are undesirable (for instance I'd put
the many-worlds interpretation into this class).
