The way it works is that you don't know if the cat is alive or dead until you open the box and look. As such, the cat is both alive and dead, only becoming one or the other upon the opening of the box.
Lol, if it weren't for the observer, the experiment would be moot. You have to remove the observer from the initial part of the test, to create the superposition of the cat. Unfortunately, the theory further goes that the fate of the cat is decided by the observer, just prior to finding out whether the cat is alive or dead. Essentially, it's impossible, to prove; you will always have some outside interference of an observer, at some point.
So, I choose to think the cat is both alive, and fat. :)
Well generally the emphasis on the experiment has been that the observer forces one or the other of the two realities to take place prior to the experiment being opened. The opening of the box is simply determining the outcome.

But wait, you killed the kitty. O.O Or...perhaps you didn't. It doesn't die until you think it's dead, if I remember the experiment correctly.
You should think..... that it's getting fat. By eating lots of food. That way, the kitty can have the quantum superposition of alive and fat. ^_^
