This user earned the Hashcat achievement

by finding a cat and stopping to pat it near the (51, 12) geohash on 2009-03-08.

Definition

Geohashers who would take this ribbon must meet a cat during the expedition (significantly close to the geohash, but not necessarily at the geohash itself^[1]) -- bringing one's own cat along for the trip is not this achievement, but is instead a drag-along achievement.
They must pat the cat (have physical contact that is not aggravating the cat).
They must not force patting on an unfriendly cat -- this is uncouth and may also be bad luck, depending on the coat colour of the cat.
They must prove this with a photo of the cat, and ideally but not necessarily also depicting the claimant.
↑ There is no strict distance limit, as cats do not obey to such confinements. Let's say that you meet the cat during the very last part of your journey.

-* The geohasher must have met a cat during the expedition (not necessarily at the geohash itself)
-* He must have patted the cat (have physical contact that is not aggravating the cat)
-* He must not force patting on an unfriendly cat (bad luck, then).
-* He must prove this with a photo of the cat, and ideally but not necessarily him- or herself. (That's what most people did until now)

-* '''support''' - There have been quite many people claiming this, and kittehs ''are'' geeky. -- [[User:relet|relet]] 15:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
-* '''support''' - Everybody likes cats. We do need a new icon, though, as it's the same used fro [[It's a kitty consolation prize]] [[User:Koepfel|Koepfel]] <sub><small><small>[[User_talk:Koepfel|talk]]</small></small></sub> 19:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

-* Concerns have been raised as to whether it is safe to pat foreign cats. Is it a good thing to encourage that, while including a "do it at your own risk" clause? -- [[User:relet|relet]] 15:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
