Write with Cats. Actual Cats.


Helvetica. Arial. Comic Sans (LOL!). These are some of the most famous fonts you can find online and in print. Let's add another worthy contender to that list: Cats. Yes, cats.


As pointed out by Japanese sites Togech and Weekly ASCII , the upper and lower case characters are called "Neko Font" (ねこフォント), which is Japanese for "Cat Font". The two cats that appear in Cat Font are named "Raizou" and "Mondo". They are adorable. The font is created from photos of these two furry friends.


You can write all sorts of things in Cat Font. Here, Japanese Twitter user @KeiichiSennsei wrote, "I love you". Because what better way to say that than writing it in cats?



And here is "I am a cat". Written. In cats.



So you can get a better idea of what Cat Font looks like, here's "A" through "D". Below are also some of the really interesting cat letters:



This is the Cat Font for upper and lower case "I", "R", and "Y". Looks like "R" is a half-cat! And aw, isn't "Y" so cute?


In the link below, you can type your own words in feline typeface, which just might be the purrfect font.


And in case you missed it, here is more of Kotaku's very important cat coverage: from cat cosplay to scary cat photobombs and why cats like sitting on keyboards.

You Can Keep A Game of Tetris Going Forever. Here's How.

Provided some tips—like those from tetrisconcept—you can keep a game of Tetris going forever. All you need is a Tetris game that randomly generates piece sequences, a hold feature, and at least 3 piece previews.


Not all Tetris games work like that, though 'good' ones are supposed to (apparently). You might need to check if your Tetris fulfills those requirements. But if that's the type of game you have, you should check out this lengthy read about how to think about and game Tetris.


Here is a small snippet, which includes diagrams. Mind, the letters correspond to the piece that most looks like that letter. As in, "T" is, well, the T shape. Z is the piece that closest looks like a Z, and so on.



If done right, your play should look like this GIF:



Actually, for those of you that are more visually oriented, the GIF might explain patterns more rapidly, and without jargon to boot.


But if you'd like to read up on methods, again, check the full article out.
