I was always wondering, the SpaceCat Gif was originally made for SG, or it was just found the perfect gif ever made? :?

I'm rather sure that I had seen Spacecat before it appeared here. Oth I wonder why it only remained popular here then.

Experiment with Pawlov dogs
This could be also a dog, a bird, a cake or just a blank screen. Its just connecting good things with image. In this situation-ppl know, that if they see a cat its a gibaway won. And thats why they like this gif.
If admun change this gif to another, it will take some time for ppl to recognize it as 'new cat'

Yeah, also interesting, that a streamer I am watching from time to time on twitch uses spacecat as subscriber notification... and everytime i see it, i think i won something :D

Well, https://memegenerator.net/Space-Cat says that image was added
Feb 27, 2013, which is before change of design on SG (IIRC there were no space cat in old design). So, cg just used a gif from internet. Quite fitting one, of course.

Well done on a decade.
I also can't believe I've been here for 8 and a half of those 10 years without realising.

Hi everyone,
We did it! One decade of SteamGifts. It's a bit scary to realize 10 years has passed since the site first launched in June 2011, but at the same time it's exciting that we've been able to reach this milestone.
We're going to have a little event for the occasion that will run for the month of June. I spoke with our beloved Space Cat, and he sent me his wishlist of Steam games that he would like to see for his 10th cake day.

If you'd like to create a giveaway for Space Cat's 10th cake day, start by selecting a game from his wishlist. You can customize it with all of the typical restrictions, however, the giveaways will all end at the same time on July 1st. The giveaways will be marked on the site with a special cake icon to help identify them, and you can browse all of the giveaways you're able to enter for the event using the link below.

On a more personal note, I want to thank everyone for being a part of the community and the journey so far. I certainly didn't anticipated the site would turn into such a large part of my life or that it would grow into what it has become today. I'm always impressed with the people here - the creativity users express in puzzles, trains and events, the hard work invested into the third-party tools and add-ons expanding the functionality of the site, the wealth of information and resources people have taken the time to organize and share, the life stories, accomplishments, and struggles people have opened up with over the years, and the friendships that have been formed. These are things that I never expected when starting the site, and they're the things that make me the most proud of the community.
When it comes to giveaways, nearly 8 million games have been received by users of SteamGifts throughout the past decade. It's an incredible number and I believe it's a testament to the generosity and kindness of the people here.
Before ending this post, I also want to give a special thanks to the support team that has volunteered their time to help manage the community. The site would simply not exist without their help. Thank you!
