Abstract
The evolution of a single mode of the electromagnetic field interactin g with a squeezed bath in a Kerr medium is considered. The solution of the corresponding master equation is given numerically. It is argued that the creation of a superposition state (Schrodinger's cat) is bett er achieved in the presence of a squeezed reservoir than of a thermal one.
