Actually, Schrödinger never believed that the half-alive cat situation could ever occur. He invented it as an example of something that could not happen in real life. Schrödinger thought that the quantum superposition would collapse when the Geiger counter 'observed' the decaying atom by going 'click', not when the box was opened.
