This user earned the Hashcat achievement

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

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)

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)
