In his famous thought experiment,Schrôdinger(1935) imagined a cat that measures the value of an quantum mechanical observable with its life. Since Schrödinger’s time, no any interpretations or modifications of quantum mechanics have been proposed which gives clear unambiguous answers to the questions posed by Schrödinger’s cat of how long superpositions last and when (or whether)they collapse? In this paper appropriate modification of quantum mechanics are proposed. We claim that canonical interpretation of the wave function ψ=c₁ψ₁+ c₂ψ_2 is correct only when the supports the wave functions ψ₁ and ψ_2 essentially overlap. When the wave functions ψ₁ and ψ_2 have separated supports (as in the case of the experiment that we are considering in this paper) we claim that canonical interpretation of the wave function ψ=c₁ψ₁+c₂ψ_2 is no longer valid for a such cat state. Possible solution of the Schrödinger’s cat paradox are considered.We pointed out that the collapsed state of the cat always shows definite and predictable outcomes even if cat also consists of a superposition: |cat>=c1|a live cat> + c2|death cat> .
