The funny thing is that upon registration of a .cat domain you are required to acknowledge that your website is not related to cats at all. So those domains are, in theory, not in compliance.
That said, at least they have a broad cipher set support and their HTTPS-only implemetation does work in older browsers and systems. That's nice. But HTTP+HTTPS would be better.
I unironically use this website everytime I forget a status code at work. The name is instantly memorable, it loads immediately, and I can ctrl-f it. It's basically muscle memory at this point.
I’ve used this site every time I’m doing http networking stuff for the past few years. It’s so easy to just go to http.cat/303 to check a status code you don’t know, or to scroll down the homepage to find the number you need for a specific response.
The cats make it much more fun than a regular docs page, whilst still being a useful quick reference. I wonder if other bits of reference information could be made more interesting in this way.

Still gives me a chuckle
(Every web site I've built in the last ten years has a series of conditions that combined will trigger a 418.)
