Well, I observed it to be alive, so there!

I gather that we observed two different cats. and in doing so, one died and another lived. RIP dead Schrödinger cat.

This is actually a trap. Doesn't matter that I told you, since people that post pictures of cats think like cats, themselves - meaning you'll respond to a cat picture thread the same way a cat responds to a laser pointer. Doesn't matter if there's nothing actually there, you won't be able resist it, regardless.

It just makes it more fun if you know it's a trap ahead of time and follow the thread, anyway.
