Where's the Cat?
This question is often asked; there is no one right answer. The Cat remains in a quantum state in between nonexistence, existence, and plurality. We will discuss each of these states in turn, so that you will be better equipped to handle whichever reality you may find yourself confronted with upon opening the box.
Nonexistence
Answer 1: The Cat was, as of 2017, actually two cats: @Pip and @Kestra. They were both adopted from the same litter from an undercared-for cat in Athens, GA; both lived long and happy sad, pathetic, deprived lives, with Pip dying in 2019 at age 17 and Kestra surviving until 2021. Kestra is featured in Woozle's avatar. Since neither of them now exist, There Is (now) No Cat.
Answer 2: The site was founded by other people (see the History section in Toot.cat) who never explained where the cat was. To this day, we still do not know. If anyone has any information, please contact @woozle.
Answer 3: There should be Cat graphics instead of mastodon graphics (1,2,3,4). This is a woeful oversight which we hope to address before we ourselves become extinct.
Singular Existence
Answer 1: The Cat may be found in the site's favicon. Give pets.
Answer 2: The Cat is secretly Kestra in Woozle's avatar.
Answer 3: "Cat" is a user-role which we will grant on request.
Answer 4: The Toot Cat is over there [points at right side of page].
Plural Existence
There are many cats and cat-identified beings here! A woefully incomplete list put together after scrolling around the local timeline for a bit (I'll try to add more later):
I should also do a list of accounts that are cat-related in other ways; there are quite a few.
