When you're asking for the percent chance of all things that can happen after a cat dies, it sounds like you're looking for a probability breakdown of all possible outcomes—including both scientific and philosophical/spiritual ones.
Here's the honest truth:
From a mathematical and empirical perspective, science only supports one outcome with measurable probability:
Now, if we include human belief systems, we enter a realm where mathematical probability isn't clearly defined—because there's no measurable data. But we can loosely list how many people hold different views:
These aren't "probabilities" in the scientific sense, but rather how many people believe each view, which reflects human uncertainty more than measurable likelihoods.
Would you like to explore one of these perspectives more—scientific, spiritual, or something in between?
Here's the honest truth:
Scientifically (based on current knowledge):
From a mathematical and empirical perspective, science only supports one outcome with measurable probability:
| Possibility | Estimated Probability |
|---|---|
| Biological decomposition (entropy, no afterlife) | ~100% (scientifically supported) |
| Consciousness continues after death | ~0% (no empirical evidence) |
Philosophically / Spiritually (if beliefs are considered):
Now, if we include human belief systems, we enter a realm where mathematical probability isn't clearly defined—because there's no measurable data. But we can loosely list how many people hold different views:
| Possibility | Rough Global Belief Prevalence (not probability) |
|---|---|
| The cat's spirit continues (e.g., heaven, reincarnation) | ~70–80% of the world believes in some kind of afterlife |
| The cat ceases to exist (materialist view) | ~10–30% (common in secular/humanist/atheist circles) |
These aren't "probabilities" in the scientific sense, but rather how many people believe each view, which reflects human uncertainty more than measurable likelihoods.
Bottom line:
- Empirical science: The most likely outcome is physical decomposition and no continuation of consciousness—near 100% certainty based on what we can observe.
- Spiritual/philosophical hope: Many people hold open the possibility of some form of afterlife, but we have no data to assign real mathematical probabilities to these.
