Ribbon

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

• 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

• support - There have been quite many people claiming this, and kittehs are geeky. -- 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 Koepfel _talk 19:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
• support - I actually thought it already *was* a proper achievement! -- sermoa 19:34, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
• support - Hooray for the only species that successfully domestiCATed humans. *meow* - Danatar 19:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Elaborate comments

• 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? -- relet 15:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
