Not to be confused with Kitty, the terminal emulator.

Beat me to it. Do open source projects just not check for name conflicts when creating their packages?

It would seem prudent for this kitty to consider changing it's name to help alleviate confusion.

Yup, I was reading through thinking there was some major update to Kitty and was a bit confused when the page said it was only available for Linux and Mac.

Exactly. A bit unfortunate since this is a successor? to putty which is widely used so this name clash is kind of prominent.

Kitty is a fork of Putty, or maybe more precisely it's built on putty. I used it a lot in my previous job as we didn't have key-based auth on customer servers. With Kitty I could create profiles with login information, and where needed automatically switch user to root. Good times.
