The point was that we can't know in which state the cat is, so we attribute a probability to each of the possible states.... and that (If I remember correctly) is the wave function that goes into the Schrödinger equation.
It's a little more subtle than that, Schrodinger is not telling us that we are uncertain about it's state but that uncertainty is a fundamental characteristic of the state in which Quanta exist.
