A little humor, Consolation of Philosophy, Boëthius

Consolation of Philosophy, 
Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius
Book V
Prose 4. "
"For signs only point to what is, they do not cause the things they point to." 

Or My Schrodinger's cat version. 
The label on the box says dead cat inside but is the cat truly dead?

Does the cat have to die because of the label stating foreknowledge of the cat?

Is the label divine therefore  divine foreknowledge or jerk roommate who hates cats?

Will the cat still have to die when you open the box?
If the molecules arrange creating the cat in my universe as I open the box and the cat is alive and I kill the cat in the box am I doing it because the label says dead cat in box OR because that damn Schrodinger cat should have already been dead?
