    The absence of a cat implies nothing is there. So the opposite of a cat is nothing (specifically nothing where a cat should have been).

    So, another acceptable answer would be “what is up? Nothing.”

      The absence of a cat implies the absence of a cat. There could be a dog instead or a Gasplanet which has a species of conscious whales wearing silly hats rolling in the mud to communicate the need for a fruity beverage. It could be anything, it could be nothing. It is not possible, from the given facts, to come to any concrete conclusion besides that a cat, is in fact, absent.

          Never read the books but I watched the movie and liked it. Always wanted to get around to it.

          I think I will look for an audiobook and hear it tonight while in bed.
