fde101 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Can we get the original cat back in the cat tool? Maybe add a drop-down to pick which breed of cat you want to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is it quite hidden, but it's not very pretty either - the original ones were more stylish (Hello Kitty fans might like this one).

fde101 Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 Yes, that is one of the first things I fixed after opening the apps, but try actually dragging out a cat with the tool. It is a different cat. This is the second time they have changed the shape of the cat that gets drawn, and it gets worse each time. The original was the best.

garrettm30 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I do like the older cat better as well, but it's not something that I use other than for testing, so I am not particularly concerned. Someone remind me please: I feel like the previous cat that just got replaced was itself a major change not too long ago. How many versions of the cat have there been?

garrettm30 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 @Pšenda Thanks. I think I may have started typing before the post before mine was added, and I didn't notice the update. Pšenda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garrettm30 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I wonder if this is going to be a tradition. And if they run out of cats, what's next? National parks in California? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in jest, as a reference to the former macOS naming convention: Cheetah (internal name) Puma (internal name) Jaguar Panther Tiger Leopard Snow Leopard Lion Mountain Lion Then, after a quip in announcing the next version, "What's next, sea lion?", they gave up and started naming the system from various places in California. You may well have already known this, but as you are a Windows guy, it is understandable if my reference wasn't obvious at first. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 It is kind of unbalanced that only cats are represented. There should really be a corresponding Dog Tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
