How do you know we don't want to know? We can be pretty curious...

shouldn't have asked...

Well, /if/ Schrodinger's kitty ever turns out to be /definitely/ dead,
then it /will/ be curiosity that killed it. Without a cruel curious
observer to open the box to look, kitty could exist happily ever after
in a state of comfy uncertainty.
(Note that Schrodinger's though experiment is terribly bogus; as he
noted himself, the idea of a feline being alive /and/ dead at the same
time is ridiculous enough, but the mere thought of any box providing no
conceivable escape route for a cat really tops it off. Now a canine,
that would be an entirely different story...)
