How is it calculated? Is it like power-levels in dragonball Z?

If I remember correctly, there was some kind of arbitrary equation involved with the calculation of Cat points...it had something to do with the date you joined, the amount of posts you made, etc.
And there were two equations, one for Noxid, and one for everyone else.
I'll try looking for the equations somewhere, but they were very...interesting to say the least.

I might warn you, it is somewhat arbitrary.

Noxid:
([time since joined in seconds]/1000)+1000000+([user id]%2000)

Everyone else:
([time since joined in seconds]/10000)+([user id]%200)

It's designed to be the ultimate arbitrary count of a persons's worth the likes of which postcount could only dream about. :p

I wonder how many threads we'll have asking what the "Cat" count means. I'm guessing at least 3.

Child's play, there will most likely be 9 threads on the subject of the Cat Counter™.

As much as I love Cats, the whole thing is pointless and contributes to nothing. The only thing it will do is make ever new member and their mother make threads asking what it is.

Rule 19. Any user who questions or asks how the cat count is generated will be permabanned without discretion

Rule 19b. Any user who has a cat count generated that is below 50,000 is permabanned, twice, with varying levels of discretion.

That's my point.
user ID %200? doesn't make any sense to me....
.
In most programming languages, the % sign, when used for equating things, means the remainder of. For example, x % y is equal to the remainder of x divided by y. So 15 % 5 would be 0, but 17 % 5 would equal 2, because you get a remainder of 2 if you try to divide 17 by 5 while trying to keep it to integers. If this formatting is not intuitive to you, I suggest you learn the basics of a text-based programming language.
