currently obsessed with the chonky orange cat who lives around the physics building at UC Davis, who not only has a department webpage and a Wikipedia page, but also has a RateMyProfessor page with 331 ratings for his course Loaf 101.

@dan @sharon @amanda You know what's funny, I was once hired by a lawyer to "fix" the fact that he didn't have a Wikipedia page (while his two business partners did). This is how I became a Wikipedia editor. After researching his "issue" and Wikipedia's editorial rules I came to the conclusion that he ... basically wasn't important enough. Which I then had to tell him.

I love that Cheeto has surpassed this man.

@ids1024 @dan It's hard to get tenure. Sounds like he's on the track!

Thanks for sharing! Remy the Harvard cat was cheated though. No Wikipedia article and there was even a course about him. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/01/maybe-its-remys-world-and-the-rest-of-us-just-live-in-it/

Then, while trying to find the above article I leaned tor the first time about Sarah the Harvard cat from the 1930s! Check out her hat! https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/12/1/sarah-the-cat-retrospection/

This just led me to discover that there's a whole list of individual #cats on Wikipedia. This is the internet we deserve.
