Abstract
We investigate the macroscopic quantumness of a set of stateswell approximating the important class of coherent state-encoded Schrödinger cat states. We do so by using two different quantifiers of macroscopic quantumness, finding consistency between the results arising from the two quantifiers, despite the different grounds upon which they are built.
