Yes, I know there's difference between Schroedinger's Cat (who's cat) and
Schroedinger Cat (which cat), but both are correct English and both are
acceptable names for the thought experiment. Schroedingers Cat is however
wrong on much more fundamental basis so that's out of question automatically.

Since this is release name I would go for something with minute difference to
the original meaning, but still sounding good, than with awkward (but correct
and having the same meaning) paraphrase. But that's my humble opinion.
