The point is about how the information is effectively isolated and if whether such a thing is possible (whether it is possible to even create these superposition without entangling the rest of the universe). | |

Before I do the observation, you would describe the situation as $\left(|\textrm{dead cat}\rangle + |\textrm{live cat}\rangle \right)|\textrm{uncertain genneth}\rangle$, and after I do the observation you would have $|\textrm{dead cat}\rangle |\textrm{genneth sees dead cat}\rangle + |\textrm{live cat}\rangle |\textrm{genneth sees live cat}\rangle$, so apparently I also exist in a suporposition, which I can never observe. The box is really neither here or there. | |
