Cat. or cat.

One-word replies are often seen as low-quality and often frowned upon in Reddit. Yet sometimes you will see huge one-word comment chains saying "cat", some with many upvotes.

In the subreddit r/catsstandingup, you're only allowed to comment "Cat." So, naturally, whenever a post or picture features a cat, posting "Cat." carried over to the rest of Reddit. It’s important to note here that in r/catsstandingup, the C in “Cat.” is capitalised[1], whereas in r/catssittingdown, the C in “cat.” is lower case[2]. Subreddit or social experiment? The answer is always: Cat. or cat.

r/kitty is a sub where you’re only allowed to comment “Kitty.” and all posts in r/MEOW_IRL should be titled “MEOW_IRL”.
