CATS

The project runs the Telegram channel @Cats_housewtf, titled CATS Community and marked with Telegram's verified badge. The channel's description links to the mini app bot @catsgang_bot, which calls itself the meowest Telegram memecoin. The channel also reposts posts from the X account @Cats_telegram. When checked in November 2026, the channel showed about 7.05 million subscribers, and the bot's Telegram page listed about 121,000 monthly users.

Users earned CATS inside the mini app mainly on the basis of their Telegram account: its age, its activity and whether it had Premium status. KuCoin's explainer calls the app similar to the DOGS bot and lists extra rewards for referrals, daily tasks, partner games and subscriptions to partner channels. It also says users can upload cat photos and create custom avatars. The description Gate published at listing presents CATS as a Telegram and TON consumer application. It rewards account age, Premium status and activity. Users can also earn bonus tokens by inviting friends, collect CATS digital products and publish cat videos.

According to the project's channel, Cats started in 2024 after its first channel had been deleted. An early post says the new channel passed 20,000 subscribers within its first 4 hours. A post celebrating the project's first birthday appeared around mid-2025. The first season of the airdrop ran from the app's launch until 30 September 2024, and Bybit's explainer says 55% of the supply went to the airdrop. On 27 September 2024 the app opened its airdrop gateway for withdrawals to exchanges, while pre-market trading was already running. Sources differ on the snapshot date: KuCoin gives 30 September 2024, while Coingabbar gives 3 October 2024 and names 4 October as the last day to claim.

Exchange trading opened on 8 October 2024. Gate started the CATS/USDT pair at 10:00 UTC that day, and same-day listings were also reported on Bybit, Bitget, KuCoin, HashKey and MEXC. The on-chain claim of tokens was reported to open on 10 October 2024. Listing day did not go smoothly for everyone. Users reported uneven distribution of the airdrop: some had not received their allocation, while others received more than they expected.

In 2025 the project's channel announced a series of tie-ins. The most concrete was the Cats x Kolo Visa crypto card, announced in the channel on 29 July 2025. Cardholders who used the card at least 3 times were promised a CATS airdrop, and an AMA with Kolo was scheduled for 14 August. The team also announced CATS x COMPUT3, with plans for animated Cats in Telegram, a cat agent and a cat trading bot. A cross-promotion with Nuts Farm offered in-app tasks and rewards. In Roach Racing Club, a game on Abstract, the project put 350,000,000 CATS on the track for players to farm. A free CATS sticker collection launched on StickerX, and an NFT mint was announced.

On 5 October 2025 the official channel reposted an X post under the heading "Important Information about the Second CATS Airdrop". The post said there would be no second-season airdrop on TON and that "The CATS token on TON is dead unfortunately". It added that Cats would come back "but not in the way of useless token". The same day, another reposted post said the @cats_telegram name "doesn't fit" and that the project was thinking about a new name. The next day, 6 October 2025, a channel post told holders to withdraw their CATS from exchanges to their own wallets, saying "maybe you will need it later".
