Not really. The main bit about Schrodinger's Cat isn't the whole "cat is both alive or dead" bit, but rather how quantum mechanics is just plain weird because an individual particle can exist in a state of superposition until it suddenly doesn't, with the "suddenly doesn't" part being the random event that determines whether the cat, a non-quantum object, is alive or dead. At least, that's what I got from SciShow's "I Don't Think That Means What You Think It Means" segment on Schrodinger's Cat.
This hints at a key problem of the thought experiment. In order for the existence unobserved to be uncertain, chances have to be equal for alive or dead.
That assumes the cat will not, in fact, move around in an attempt to escape and break the vial of poisonous stuff, killing it. Anybody who has attempted to keep a cat still will tell you that the chances of the cat being sufficiently still are significantly less than 50%.
The cat is testing us, whether the universe will spontaneously bypass the energy threshold to achieve true vacuum or not outside (and eventually inside) the box.
