Schr枚dinger%26#039;s cat, often described as a paradox, is a thought experiment devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schr枚dinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics being applied to everyday objects, by considering the example of a cat that may be either alive or dead, according to an earlier random event.
Apart from introducing the cat, Schr枚dinger also coined the term %26quot;entanglement%26quot; (German: Verschr盲nkung) in the experiment.
Curiosity kills the cat and Schrodinger%26#039;s cat - are they related in one way or another?
In Quantum Theory, a system can have possible states, but the act of observation will make that system assume one state.
The Schrodinger%26#039;s cat is a paradox. A cat is placed in a sealed box, along with a fial of poison. The fial is broken, releasing the poison in the box. If unobserved, the cat is both alive and dead, but as soon as you open the box, you will find the cat dead.
So, both of your statements refer to this paradox.

Not really. Satisfaction brought one cat back but Schroedinger%26#039;s cat is still dead.
