Either way I'm right. The cat will survive, or it won't. (unless it remains indeterminate due to being in Schroedingers box).
Eating and voiding are, to me, an indicator that the creature in question will remain alive for long enough to cost another $300 at the vet's.
Not quite so much tautalogy, as a type of YMMV.
