A WikiCat, or Felis wikipediensis, edits (or, more technically, kneads) to reach a state of inner bliss, not unlike a WikiSloth. Much unlike the WikiSloth, however, a WikiCat often aspires towards lofty goals, which could be to recategorize the world, to bury their droppings in the sandbox, or to become one of those

bureaucats here for the chats.

A WikiCat's editing style will often be frenzied, tangling everything up as much as possible before losing interest and taking a catnap, the approximate opposite of WP:DGAF. WikiCats enjoy working alone, but have been known to befriend editors through the use of purring. Largitudinal studies have shown that WikiCats can, with age and proper care, become WikiSloths or WikiPumas, much less prone to accident than WikiKittens.

Many WikiCats stalk the vicinity of pages they plan to pounce and have been known, under pressure, to puff up their edit counters to make themselves seem bigger than they really are. Some WikiCats have sharp claws and and react with great speed when poked, unless they are under the influence of catnip. They love trout, and herring, which are plentiful inside co-flounder Wales' bellyful of infoboxers.

Being a WikiCat comes with a bad reputation among good gardeners, so you should advertise, warning others with this minor branding (don't worry; it only really hurts while it's hot). Just put a {{tl|WikiCat topicon}} on your page and this small black chat 30px will hang in the top right corner of your userpage. You should be aware that the boldest WikiCats now have (bot-scooped) userboxes. Just add {{tl|User WikiCat}} or {{tl|User wikipedia/WikiCat}} to your user-page.
