Sorry, you are misunderstanding me. I realize it's just an orange cat, but who placed the pixels on /r/place to create the cat image? That's what I'm referring to.

Reference to "everyone" on their sub being banned by admins: https://old.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/tty3fn/_/

If you go to their official site, you can clearly see (as of this comment) that they're using this cat as their mascot, and it's posted all over the place.

So yes, it's "just a cat" except it's being used in a specific way.

And no, reddit didn't tweet an image of the cat. They responded to someone else's screenshot of /r/place.
