    "abstract": "Modeling the Schr\\\"{o}dinger cat by a two state system and assuming that the\ncat is coupled to the environment we look for the least paradoxical states of\nthe Schr\\\"{o}dinger cat in the following way. We require the reduced density\nmatrix of the cat for one of the two states in the superposition to be the same\nas the one for the total state while distinct from the reduced density matrix\nof the cat for the other state in the superposition. We then look for the\nreduced density matrices for which the cat is as alive as possible for the\nfirst state (and as dead as possible for the second state). The resulting\nstates are those in which the probability for the cat to be alive (or dead) is\n$1/2+\\sqrt 2/4\\approx 0.854$",
