Personally, I think the cat is an observer anyway - so I don't see how Schrodinger's Cat experiment could actually work with a conscious feline in the box.

But a Schrodinger's Cat-type experiment, with a video recorder (rather than real-time transmitter) would replicate the scenario in the novel - with recording devices displaying 'noise' for the duration of the event.
If that's what happens for the event, then it would also happen for the Schrodinger experiment - only it wouldn't.
