I agree with the statement that it should not be in that category.
Essentially, because schrodinger's cat is not a cat. Felix the Cat is
a fictional cat. Simba the lion is a fictional cat, in a broader
sense. Schrodinger's cat is a concept in physics that has nothing to
do with cats or fiction. There is no notable fiction in which
Schrodinger's cat features heavily, for example.

To the OP: Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. One bad
category member does not justify nuking an entire family of
categories.
