Feels like the first time I have seen a .cat domain in HN! Good TLD Francesc ;)

It's not available to everyone, I don't think: http://domini.cat/en_sunrise_faq/index.php#p4.1.

> 1.1. Is it possible to register a .cat domain right now?

Not yet. The launch period (Sunrise) starts on February 13th 2006, and ends on April 21st 2006. The registry will open for everybody on April 23rd 206, just after the Sunrise ends.

The HTML anchor in my previous link is not surviving the auto-linking (it needs the last '.'), but see point 4 (Who can get a .cat?): http://domini.cat/en_sunrise_faq/index.php#t14

As long as you can prove a link to Catalonia or Catalan, you can (Francesc is from Catalonia, so...). Actually nyan.cat exists just with the excuse they have "translated the website into Catalan." Seriously.
