I recall the story of the philosopher and the theologian. The two were engaged in disputation and the theologian used the old quip about a philosopher being like a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat—which wasn't there. "That may be," said the philosopher; "but a theologian would have found it."—Julian Huxley

Comments
A quantum physicist would presumably have believed it to be simultaneously both there and not-there, at least until she had had a good look.
A buddhist would have denied the existence of all apparent cats, whether they are there or not.
A politician would have found a scapegoat to blame for the non-existence of the cat, and claimed that things would be much better if only the cat did actually exist.
And a 21st century internet user would have slapped a picture of the cat on a website with the caption OH HAI U NO CAN S3E ME!!!111!1 KTHXBYE
