I’ve already cleaned it up but it stressed the plant enough that it’s now flowering and dying since it only flowers once so I guess my evidence would be a flowering plant dropping its oldest leaves
Since OP has yet to deliver, I offer this photo of my dog displaying rare stoicism instead of her default state of buffering whilst in full derp.
If you’re still feeling peckish while waiting for the entree of OP’s feline, I also have images of her (8) and her finely aged man of 13 in various states of derpitude.
She was advertised as a chocolate lab on the local adoption list of shelter pups needing homes, but she’s def a mutt that’s a chocolate lab pibble, if not mixed with something else. Before the New Orleans SPCA had her, she was found just wandering the streets, poor lady.
They also listed her as two years old when she wasn’t no older than six months. I had lost my senior dog nearly a year prior, as well as a rescue puppy (ex stole both, his mistress that conned and ditched HIM stole the puppy he stole from me) and I had zero interest in going through the puppy phase again because that other little was the embodiment of separation anxiety and fear of abandonment howling (beasky). Poor lil dude.
OP, are you new to reddit? Reddiquette is such that all posts involving a cat require a cat tax to be paid. How else are we to pay homage to your overlord or overlady with due courtesy?
I’ve owned a few that if I didn’t cut their claws regularly, could easily puncture a shaving cream can…. Couldn’t tell you the breeds because they were all barn kittens or they adopted us. But the strength of some of your 12-20lb when they bat at something can be impressive.
Are you sure? Claws can be pretty sharp but cats are soooo weak, like they struggle pretty hard at pushing and pulling with their arms. I think cats claws being keratin lack the structural hardness, and cat arm muscles being limp noodles are unable to produce the driving force necessary to even puncture soda cans which are much thinner. A cat might be able to puncture a soda can with a lucky bite at the right angle, but I'm almost certain that it wouldn't be able to bite a shaving cream can (which is stronger than aluminum -- steel i believe)
Don't really need a cat for it to happen. Sometimes they just do. High temperatures, old cans, rusting cans etc., have happened to me before. There were no cats.
I had a similar situation years ago. My sibling loved squeeze cheese and was awful at putting things away. I'm upstairs and hear a loud 'POP'. Look down the stairs, and one of the dogs is sitting in the middle of an explosion of cheese. From what we could tell, he punctured the can which was under pressure. He's covered in cheese, it's on the wall, the carpet, the ceiling, strings are hanging off the fan, it's everywhere. Poor dog just looked confused. And of course, it was the super fluffy golden who was coated in fake cheese. It took hours to clean up, and it stained the ceiling it a way that keeps coming back even after painting. I still can see it when I visit, and this was almost 20 years ago.

Social norms dictate that you post the cat
