Mistigram: shhh, the librarian is napping! This #ASCIIart scene of a #cat drawing strength from the presence of old books in large quantities was made by Moth and included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection -- though stay tuned for one celebrating the world of books and literature coming up next year!

Mistigram: @MCFresher graces us with an animated #textmode Unicode loop celebrating an old cruel web hoax, MIT's #BonsaiKitten, circa 2000. This piece was included in last month's #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: today we share Codefenix's #ANSIart memorial to beloved family pet Ginger, a "used kitten" who wound up spending two decades as part of the family. This piece was included in the cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: the new, cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection contains, unsurprisingly, rather a lot of cats, illustrated in vintage computer art formats. Here are several samples depicting cats famous and obscure, drawn in #ANSIart, #ASCIIart and #PETSCII.

Mistigram: I've already invoked the aphorism about what curiosity did to the cat... this #ASCIIart kitty, drawn by Mozz, isn't dead yet, but when it gets to the end of its rope it may have to tie a knot and hold on. This was included in last month's #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: in the first decade of this new century, Cute Overload and I Can Has Cheezburger? testified to the self-evident truth that the Internet was, on a fundamental level, for sharing funny cat-related content, and all other applications for it were kind of secondary. From this milieu emerged Jason "Textfiles" Scott's cat Sockington, who over the course of a decade accumulated over a million Twitter followers. Though Socks died in 2022, a good cat is never forgotten, so when Cthulu was coming up with the short list of celebrated cats to enshrine in #ANSIart in last month's #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection, this hep cat invariably stalked its way to the top of the pile. LDA and Moth assisted in locking down this adaptation of a 2009 t-shirt design originally by Megan Hopkins and R. Stevens.

Mistigram: this greyscale #PETSCII portrait of ndh's black #cat, Kiki, was drawn by @littlebitspace and included in last month's #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: A little late, but we hope you had a happy #Caturday anyway. Is this cat simply enormous, or is it simply a tiny espresso cup? Either way, Lockja's #ASCIIart scene of an overcaffeinated disaster brings us to a foregone conclusion: time to sweep and mop the floor. This piece was included in the recent #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.
