The cat is pulled into the superposition by interacting with the results of the detector and the poison vial. There are two cats from the "outside", but from each cat's perspective it sees only a single "random" outcome. Superpositions aren't destroyed - you are subsumed within them.

in a given Universe there is only one cat. A human observer just doesn't know what the state of the cat in his Universe. The cat knows.
