A box without a lid, no way to check on the cat, and no air holes. That cat is dead. It was always going to die.

    Are you also dead because you're guaranteed to die eventually? It's not an experiment of the eventual outcome but the observation of the outcome. While you're observing the cat it has to be alive or dead, it can't be both. But when you stop observing the certainty disappears and the cat is no longer dead or alive but both at the same time.
