Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the most creative ways people proved their rightness, and it'll prove that sometimes you have to work to earn vindication.

From a contractor vouching for his cabinet's sturdiness to a guy showing a police officer how sober he is, these people were brave enough to do whatever it takes in the name of truth. Scroll down to check out the effort it sometimes takes to convince others, and vote for your favorite submissions!

Blind cats, like blind humans, develop their other senses. They can track and catch moving toys, follow you around, etc. Blindness doesn't affect their sense of balance, their muscle function, etc. It's so sad that many people have their dogs and cats euthanized if they go blind. Would they do that to blind humans?

She will definitely be able to get down. She has incredible sense of what's around her... whiskers, paws... Cats do well in the dark. Blindness is just another thing to beat.

Whiskers actually serve all cats giving making available sensory allowances to not go deeper into crevices or small spaces they may not be able to get out of. Not particular to heights though it still serves greatly without sight!

It would be interesting to discover how he went about doing that. Did he lay a grid-work and use his artistic skills, or die he tape off every dirty square before cleaning the floor?
