  • The belief that there isn't more information despite knowing we don't have the original source is the assumption

  • Wet and evil

    Jump

  • Is that fewer assumptions than "there was a good reason to wash the cat"?

    You've also assumed that:

    • The actual original poster did not give any explanation on their post, wherever that was (since we know the tumblr blog is not the original)
    • That they would give an explanation if there was one (you have to assume this for not doing so to be meaningful evidence)
    • That they are acting surprised by the cat's appearance despite seeing it regularly

  • Occam's razor states that the most likely explanation for something is the one that requires the fewest assumptions. Your explanation - that the cat's owner regularly bathes the cat for no good reason - requires large assumptions about the owner that there is no evidence for. It is therefore not the answer that Occam's razor leads to

  • You assuming this person's habits is not the explanation that requires the fewest assumptions

  • If it wasn't a rare and unusual occurrence they probably wouldn't be surprised by what the cat looks like

    The tumblr blog here also does not appear to be the original source, it's a general cute animals one, so additional context may well have been removed

  • do you honestly think, that this “funny” post is about a cat which needed a bath because it fell into something deadly?

    Why shouldn't it be? I've got a cat, if he got something nasty on himself and I had to bathe him I would absolutely be taking pictures of him looking ridiculous afterwards. "Deadly" here doesn’t need to mean that there was a big vat of cyanide sitting open or something, it could be as simple as the cat getting into a room with wet paint on the walls

  • This little guy definitely has an ominous castle in Transylvania

  • Can anyone explain how Furryosa braided her tail?

  • It's simple. Bones are optional for cats

  • Well we can recognise people by their voices and, if we're around someone long enough, even by the sound of their footsteps, right? And cats have far better hearing than us

  • Cats not looking at you is often good! It (usually) means they trust you enough to not feel like they have to watch you. Obviously a cat that likes you will often look at you, but a cat that doesn't trust you will likely be keeping a close eye in case you do anything threatening

  • Due to her floofiness, Miez can't really hide even on the highest shelf

    Jump

  • My boy Alaric is nowhere near as fluffy as Miez, but he has a similar problem: he forgets to hide his ears. The first time I ever saw him was when he was in the shelter, hiding behind his bed, with his ears sticking out

  • They could also just have one of the big breeds like a skogkatt or a Maine coon which can easily get a lot heavier than that without being unhealthy at all

  • Military force can topple a dictator, but it cannot create political authority or legitimacy

    Jump

  • It's talking about legitimacy of who/whatever ends up running Venezuela after this, not Trump's legitimacy. The point is that removing Maduro is not going to create a pro-USA Venezuela

  • It's Alaric's 16th birthday today

  • Alaric like the 4th century Goth! Just as his namesake destroyed Rome, he destroys toy mice and carpets

  • That sounds adorable

  • So apparently horizontal stripes by the eyes come off as "angry". Do you think that's the case for Lilly, too?

    Jump

  • It looks like she's a cyberpunk cat with panel lines on her face. She must have gotten an upgraded forehead for superior headbumping power

    Also to actually answer, I don't think she looks angry. She's got big round eyes that just look too friendly and curious

    She loves the thing even when it's off

  • Oh damn, that's a full self-dox. I'm gonna report this just for the sake of maybe getting it down sooner, since OP is likely asleep right now
