Schrödinger the Cat

From Fandom wank wiki

July 3, 2005: While City_glitter and her father go to a movie and dinner, some prankster grabs their cat Shro (aka Schrödinger) and sets it on fire! Although Shro will live, City_glitter explains, the vet bills will run to about $5000, which her father sees no point in paying. An outpouring of support soon follows.

July 6, 2005: Foxfur is less than convinced that City_glitter's story is completely true. For one thing, a vet would not perform surgery on an animal so soon after being burned. For another, the police, local news media, SPCA, and the clinic the cat was supposedly taken to know nothing about this incident. Additionally, and this admittedly isn't concrete evidence, but the cat's named after a famously hypothetical cat who may or may not be alive. That might be a clue.

Things get ugly, and City_glitter finally has to save Foxfur from the torches and pitchforks and admit that no cats were harmed in the making of this wank. (Whether Schrödinger the Cat existed at all remains undetermined, appropriately enough.) Her explanation for the hoax was to restore her faith in humanity by conducting a social experiment to see how much charity money could be raised with a sob story about a burnt cat. Indeed, having raised thousands of dollars, City_glitter's faith in humanity is indeed at an all-time high. The hundreds of people commenting on her journal, on the other hand, have had their faith immolated ass-first. Ain't science neat?
