Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Was not sure where to put this but yeah, what does it mean? It does not seem to effect reputation on the forums, like the love heart. So, what does it mean? Meow? How cute? I've wondered about it since I came to the forums... But never asked, just assumed. Edited September 25, 2020 by Zexos 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) According to GM Nicrolis and Lead Forum Moderator Pandalet, it was simply added as a neutral alternative to a "Like", and does not have any overtly negative connotations. People are apparently allowed to interpret it as they please! Edited September 25, 2020 by Brash_Endeavors 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 25, 2020 I use cat emoji as a super-like. If I really like something, I use cat. If I just like it, I give the heart. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 25, 2020 Thanks guys for the answers 😊👍 I've used it now and again when I found something funny. So, seems that also people use it for all manner of different reasons as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 25, 2020 since heart gives rep, and cat does not.... I tend to use heart on player posts that I agree with or like. I use the cat for Dev and GM posts that I think are good, but they don't really interact with the rep system in the same way that players do. Just my 2 irons. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 25, 2020 I brought up the cat face once, too. Seems to come around like full moons.... official response is: It's a cat. It means nothing. It means "cat". At the end of the day - the cat reaction is arbitrarily assigned a purpose each time that each Wurmian uses it. "Cat" is a symbol that cannot reliably convey any consistent meaning at all. So the truth is that the cat reaction is ultimately meaningless in the most literal way possible. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I politely disagree as the cat is not meaningless, but the cat is the meaning, a value in itself, meow. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
