It depends on whether the subject's observation can affect the observations of the observers outside the box.. if the subject can observe the state wouldn't the cat also be able to observe particle state and invalidate the experiment? Does the cat's inability to communicate the state make its observation invalid?

If he was dead he would be unable to perceive.. if alive he would get to wait in his box until observed.. with the cat theorem the cat exists in both states until the box is opened.. The human would exist in a similar state until external observers are present causing the state to be determined.

Hmm, I think the cat's perspective would be irrelevant, until the experiment concludes, and whichever state he ends up in is what occurs to him, ie. dead or alive. I think, since the experimenter is viewing from a more effective perspective, their observation would be the more accurate one. The human Schroedinger's cat would be helpless to affect his own fate.
