It's appropriate as long as it is of interest to the audience is the policy, is it not? And this here member of the audience has just upvoted it, finding it more interesting then the rising inequality between Edward Snowden and Brendan Eich, which has nothing to do with "hacking" and is perennially trending on HN because, well, every freaking thing is appropriate if upvoted!

That's not true—HN is a constitutional democracy. But I'd have thought a desert-dwelling cat would be intellectually interesting enough to satisfy the criteria of the guidelines, and once a story crosses that bar, pretty much anything goes.
Users who disagree are welcome to flag the story, and admittedly have some evidence to back them up in this thread.

"Fascinating" is very close to the ideal quality for an HN story.
