It's silly to take Schrödinger's Cat literally. It's a convenience to explain states within equations. When you say "the cat is both alive and dead at the same time", you're simply saying "in this equation, do not assume that this variable will be one or zero, calculate the results for both conditions", and the final outcome will possibly be one of these calculated results. The more such variables you have, the more different results you may get.
