    I used to run a Twitter bot called @itsavailable that would mine interesting strings that were not registered .com domains and tweet them out at a regular cadence. One of its sources was the most-visited English-language Wikipedia page titles in the past hour.

    One of the only domains I ever bothered purchasing for myself was https://catgap.com

      Thank you for brightening my day with your website. That is one adorable (and adorably annoyed-looking) cat.

      Hat tip on both your (new?) domain name and your username.

    The cat gap is due to the long time it took for the mutant descendants of Noah's cats to get to America.

      The universe was created to incorporate cats.

    Ignoring the much more obvious explanation that they simply buggered off to do their own thing and there was nobody around to bang a plate with a fork.
