  Isn't the interpretation such that the state of the particle/molecule/cat
is relative, not absolute? From the cat's own point of view it's definitely
alive or dead, but from an outside frame of reference both states are
superposed until observation from that frame of reference in question.

  I think that the question presented by the original thought experiment is
that, if quantum superposition is indeed the correct interpretation, whether
such superpositions apply to macroscopic objects.
