    Question Why does a little cat appear for a moment when I submit a post ??

    Would someone briefly explain why a small kitten or small cat face momentarily appears (near the lower right corner of the page) when I go to submit a post ?? It only appears for a second or so when submitting a post

    I've seen it plenty of times and figured I'd finally ask is all. No it's not a pink elephant, just a small cat face!

    I used to moderate a forum (first phpbb3 then switched to vBulletin like FEP) so understand much of the inner workings & controls etc (and how much work it can be!) but it's been 12-years so I know much has changed but can't help but wonder.

    Who/what/why is that cat and what is he doing popping up on my screen ?? I'd get a screenshot but he's too fast lol

    My understanding is that ceiling cat is/was the site owner's pet cat.

    What's weird is sometimes I don't get to see ceiling cat and my post is almost instant. Other times, I get to see ceiling cat...sometime for almost a minute, then when he finally gets thru reading my post, he reloads the page and it tells me I can't post again so soon...like the little critter was trying to double post my post. Seems to be a little trouble maker this ceiling cat!
