“I swear I just heard a meow. Did I hear a meow?”
“Yes and no.”

Only if you collapse the function on the cat. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict the location of the cat (because we know how fast it’s going), so it is impossible to say whether or not you will kill the cat.
That’s a Schrodinger of a conundrum!
