THE COPENHAGEN INTERPRETATION DOES NOT SAY THAT THE WAVEFUNCTION IS A REAL THING.

Then why did Schroedinger talk about the cat in the box?

I think you must be talking about some new interpretation unknown to Schroedinger.

I think you must be talking about some new interpretation unknown to Schroedinger.

Even if Schrödinger hadn't known some interpretation when he devised his feline thought experiment in 1935, I don't think it justifies calling it new.
