Due to quantum flux in which it is caught, Schrödinger’s cat’s both still and a breather. Something that has to be either or not
can also be both while it is neither.

The observer is the important part, determining the final feline fate.

By measurement, there beats a feline heart.

By measurement, the purring does abate.

when staging this experiment in thought:

Before the box is closed and latch is hooked,
there’s the observer within who’s been caught.  
Before the box opens on judgment-day,
the cat in the box has something to say.
