In 1968, a Soviet mainframe animated one of the earliest digital cats ever made. No GPU. No software. Mathematics, a BESM-4, and a printer.

what is kitty?
Kitty is an extremely early computer-animated cat from 1968.
A Soviet team used mathematics and a BESM-4 mainframe computer to model how a cat walks.
The computer generated the movement.
Frames were printed.
Then turned into film.
This happened decades before modern internet cat culture.
why does kitty matter?
The internet eventually became obsessed with cats.
But Kitty proves computers were already doing cat content in 1968.
That's what makes it so good.
This isn't a random made-up cat mascot.
This is actual computer history.
there was computer cat lore.
why $NVDA?
the first digital cat
paired with
the modern graphics giant.

how do you animate a cat in 1968?
x(t) = Σ aₙ·sin(ωₙt + φₙ) — limb phase, 4 legs
Δθ/Δt ≈ const → walk cycle, 24 fr/s
hind paw lag ≈ 0.25 T
note: printer output pinned to light table, photographed frame-by-frame
tape reel 04 · operator: unknown
no blender.
no gpu.
just math and a huge computer.

Kitty represents the beginning of digital cat history and early computer graphics.
NVIDIA represents the era computer graphics grew into.
PONS lets memes pair directly with stocks.
So: $KITTY / $NVDA
to gpu giant.
in 1968,
it took a mainframe to make a cat walk.
in 2026,
we paired that cat with nvidia.
the first digital cat meets the graphics giant.
