As for the cat tail, it clearly was meant as a reference to Rika, after all, in all punishment games she wore a cat tail and ears and she said 'Mii~' imitating a cat's mew.

Actually there has never been any "Nipaah" or "mii" or "nano-desu" from Frederica Benkastel. and Rika only posed as a cat once in the whole story (again Rika not Bernkastel who never indulged in childish activities).
Basically from one side you're saying that Bernkastel shed her Rika side, and from the other you sare saying that there is a connection naming things that are only characteristic of Rika; which if there was any consistency she should have shed all together not acquired.

What Bernkastel has anything to do with schroedinger's cat? If there's a witch that should be associated with that is Beatrice not Bernkastel.

Possibly, but Bernkastel is not a being with many names in Umineko.
You need to assume that she is the same person in Higurashi to claim that she has "many" names, but that's circular logic. You can't assume "A" and then use "A" to support "A".
