THE VERDICT

In the matter of The People (Who Will Not Stop) versus One (1) Green Cat. Final. Binding. Ceremonial. Not subject to vibes.

ORDER. ORDER. ORDER IN THE COURT.

After exhaustive review of one (1) green cat, the court has reached a decision.

Part I

Findings of Fact

The following facts are established, undisputed, and frankly self-evident to anyone with functioning eyes.

  1. The profile picture is a cat. A cat is a small domesticated feline. This is not in dispute, has never been in dispute, and will not become in dispute today.
  2. Green is a color. It exists on the visible spectrum between cyan and yellow. The cat being green is a stylistic decision, not a confession.
  3. The glasses are round. Round glasses aid vision. They do not aid, imply, or constitute furriness. They are simply glasses, on a cat, for seeing.
  4. The cat possesses zero (0) tails. A thorough count was conducted. The total remained zero across all recounts.
  5. No fursuit was located. Investigators searched the premises, the closet, the second closet, and the suspicious box. The box contained shoes.
  6. The cat said "meow." This is what cats say. It is not a coded message. It means nothing beyond "meow."
  7. The whiskers are anatomically standard. All six (6) whiskers are present and accounted for. None were artisanally added.
  8. The subject owns no paw gloves, ears, or "head." The subject owns one beanie. The beanie is just a beanie.
  9. The cat is two-dimensional. It is a drawing. Drawings cannot, by law of physics, attend conventions.
  10. The accusers produced no evidence. When asked for proof, the accusers said "I just feel like it though." This was logged as Exhibit None.
  11. The subject's browser history was clean. Top result: "is my cat normal." The cat is normal.
  12. The cat blinked slowly at the bailiff. Experts confirm this is affection, not a secret handshake.
  13. The color #53FB9B is a hex code. It denotes neon green. It does not denote anything else. It is six characters long and entirely innocent.
  14. At no point did the cat "owo." The full transcript was reviewed. The cat owo'd zero times.
Part II

Conclusions of Law

Applying settled legal principle to the established facts, the court concludes as follows.

  1. Owning a cat avatar is legal and good. No statute, common law, or vibe has ever held otherwise.
  2. Liking a color is not an admission. A man may enjoy green the way a man enjoys soup. Neither is a confession.
  3. The burden of proof rests on the accuser. The accuser brought a feeling. A feeling is not admissible. The burden remains unmet, permanently.
  4. "Looks kinda furry" is not a legal standard. It has been struck from the record with prejudice and a small sigh.
  5. Resemblance is not membership. Resembling a cat no more makes one a furry than resembling a loaf makes one bread.
  6. Cuteness is not a crime. The court declines to penalize the subject for the cat being objectively well-drawn.
  7. Doubt resolves in favor of the cat. Where any ambiguity exists, the court rules for the cat. There is no ambiguity, but the principle stands.
  8. The matter is hereby res judicata. It is decided. It cannot be re-litigated. Bringing it up again is contempt of cat.
  9. Allegations are denied in perpetuity. Not for a term of years. Not until appeal. Forever, and one extra day for safety.

Part IV

Sentencing of the Accusers

The cat being fully exonerated, the court turns to those who would not let it rest. The following sentences are handed down, deadpan and final.

  1. Touch grass. Real grass. Outdoor grass. A minimum of one (1) verified blade per offense, photographed, notarized.
  2. 1,847,293 hours of community service spent apologizing to the cat, individually, in alphabetical order of grievance.
  3. A written essay, 5,000 words, titled "Why A Cat Can Just Be A Cat And It Is None Of My Business," due never-ending.
  4. Permanent ban from the phrase "looks kinda furry." The phrase has been confiscated. They will not be getting it back.
  5. Mandatory enrollment in Remedial Spectrum Studies, wherein they relearn that green is, in fact, just a color.
  6. Restitution of one (1) sincere "my bad" to the green cat, delivered with eye contact, no take-backs.
  7. House arrest within the bounds of their own opinion, which they may keep, quietly, to themselves, indefinitely.
Part V

The Court's Closing Remarks

Let the record show that this matter is concluded. The green cat is a cat. The man behind it is a man with a cat. There is nothing further to examine, nothing left to insinuate, and absolutely nothing to bring up again at parties. The gavel has fallen. The seal has set. The ink is dry. Go in peace, speak of this no more, and for the love of all things feline, never bring this up again.

Disagree? Good Luck.
