Riiight, so, coming back round to schrodingers cat. Yes, it's an observer - and yes, a barrel of explosives would also be an observer (both of them are billions and billions of observers, in point of fact). Anything that interacts with our x is said to have observed it. That word is used a particular way in qm - it doesn't necessitate or indicate a human being or a cat watching.
That is the misconception that the entire qm woo market is based on, though. The whole business is a bit moot, since neither cats nor explosives nor any other macroscopic object is going to act like the particles that the analogy is meant to explain. It would be absurd if a cat acted that way, which is probably why einstein thought as much, even though it's not absurd for particles to act that way.
