I thought that it was about the term emulator KiTTY (https://www.9bis.net/kitty/ a windows GUI for Putty) but it's about a term emulator Kitty ... :-(

Seriously guys: what's the point of reusing the exact same name for the exact same product ???? Stealing history and credibilty ? Lack of imagination ? Or did someone just forgot to do its homework and checkin what already exists ?

(and if you downvote, please explain why ... KiTTY is quite a good software since 2005, more than 20 years ago, and still alive even if the last version is 0.76.1.13 from 2023)

This was raised in bug trackers, and this Kitty's maintainer willfully decided to be an asshole about it. Briefly considered changing, but then didn't out some fit of pique.
