Lately, I've noticed a growing number of people asking about Cat Dynamics and if
Sherbert is still alive.
After Pocket Gamer included Cat Dynamics in their 10 best PSP friendly websites, I decided I would make a post about both!
For those who haven't brushed up on NG history, Cat Dynamics was one of the original "NG Features." It went on-line as a static gag site in 1997, but it became sort of interactive in late 1999, when I started showcasing a Cat of the Week.
After the launch of the Flash Portal in 2000, I put together a mockup layout for how an automated Cat of the Week system could work... Basically an entire art portal just for Photoshopped pictures of robot cats. The idea was kinda short-sighted at the time; I wasn't thinking about the whole "everything by everyone" concept quite yet. We never did launch the automated cat picture portal, and to this day we haven't launched the long-rumored Art Portal. Until then, there's always the art forum!

Today we're running a front page skin for the new Batman DVD! How does everyone like the aesthetic? If it bothers you, just be glad we aren't advertising adult diapers or something. Ok I got some money to go roll around in, BYE.
Here are some recent pictures of Sherbert, who is still alive but does have a genetic heart condition. I took one next to the latest issue of EW, as proof that these pics are current! It's sheer coincidence that it happens to be more Batman.
