¶ Regular Events
These events happen on a yearly basis. Some events have Cat Rain sales attached, usually going for about a week around the day the event happens on.
Some of these events and sales have inconsistent begin and end times and may vary in execution, but sales happen roughly every other month.
¶ April Fools
This event occurs every year on April 1st, with some usually goofy stuff to prank Cat Bot users.
¶ 2023 "Rarity Swap"
During this April Fools, all cat types' rarities got visually swapped. This shouldn't have affected the actual cats, but a bug was found which allowed converting flipped cat types into actual cat types so everything was rolled back when the event ended.
¶ 2024 "Captcha"
During this April Fools, you were required to pass a CAPTCHA before catching a cat. This was done by redirecting users to a website with a reCAPTCHA which caught the cat upon completion. There was a bug which allowed you to catch cats in any channel (including private ones) and as any user by modifying the website link. This resulted in some users in Cat Stand getting absurdly big "slow catch" times by catching old cats from testing channels and users who never joined the server (example: notexttospeech) getting credit for catching cats.
The Cat Stand server icon was also changed to this image to mimic a fake ping from the server:
This April Fools event had a very negative reception so further April Fools events no longer interrupt the catching flow.
¶ 2025 "Budget Cuts"
During this April Fools:
- Every cat emoji was a Fine cat to "avoid copyright fees".
- "Ads" show on catches promoting different commands for "offsetting costs":

- The bot and server logos got changed to the regular Staring cat because of "high costs of the rainbow", the banner for the server was also removed and certain channels and Cat Bot's description were also changed to fit with the theme.
- The server name "Cat Stand" got changed to "Budget Cut Stand" and the Cat Bot's status got changed from "Catting in # servers" to "Budget's cut in # servers" because of "budget cuts".
¶ Birthday
This occurs every year on April 21st, where the cat emojis and the bot's PFP wear a birthday hat. This event also has the highest Cat Rain sale amounts, up to 50%.
This event also often has some fun activity attached to it:
¶ 2023 "Cat Bot updates"
In 2023, there were no events and Cat Bot just had some updates.
¶ 2024 "Cat Birthday Server"
In 2024, there was an almost 20 hour long event held in a separate "Cat Bot Birthday" server which featured normal catching channels along with various minigames, giveaways and events throughout the day which rewarded cats, Rains and Nitro Gifts.
¶ 2025 "ARG"
In 2025, a Cat Piece goal. Every time you cought a cat, you contributed to the goal of 1,000,000 pieces. You could view your progress, both server-wide and global, the server progress, the global progress, and a button to join Cat Stand in the temporary /event command.
After the goal, the image in the /event command appeared leading to a scuffed ARG, the ARG eventually went to the same birthday server like in 2024, more info about the ARG and the steps it took here.
The ARG started at approximately 9:40:30am EST on April 24th, and ended at 12:06pm EST, and the sale ended 2 days after.
Lia has also said there were more puzzle pieces that you couldn't get by simply catching, but this is mainly speculation.
¶ Sales
¶ Summer Sale
This occurs every year on June 1st. Roughly on this date there will be a Cat Rain sale, usually between 20% and 30%, lasting for a few days. There are no functional or cosmetic changes in Cat Bot nor Cat Stand besides the ads for the sale.
¶ International Cat Day
This occurs every year on August 8th. Roughly on this date there will be a Cat Rain sale, usually between 20% and 30%, lasting for a few days. There are also no functional or cosmetic changes in Cat Bot or Cat Stand once again besides the ads for the sale.
¶ Halloween
This occurs every year in October, where the cat emojis become pumpkins. The event ends November 1st. This event has a 30% Cat Rain sale.
¶ Christmas
This occurs every year in December, where the bot's icon is changed to have a Santa hat on. On Christmas 2024, the status changed from "Catting in # servers" to "Feeling JOLLY in # servers". This event usually has a pretty long 20% Cat Rain sale.
¶ Unique events
These events have only occurred once, with no plans to bring them back.
¶ 10k servers "Rarer Cats"
On the day that Cat Bot hit 10,000 servers (November 19th, 2023), it was also Lia's birthday. Therefore a special event occured where the Fine, Nice, and Good cat's spawn chance was all set to 1 (twice as rare as eGirl is usually). This allowed rarer cats to spawn much more often. The event only lasted one day. This also temporarily changed cat's trade values because of how the calculation for value works.
¶ 50k servers "QnA/AMA event"
When Cat bot hit 50k servers, Lia announced an AMA event which was set in a thread channel called "50k-ama". In that channel, anyone could ask a question (within reason) to Lia and get an answer. The event lasted until Cat Bot reached 51k servers, which was about 6 days. The channel has then been archived, and soon later privated.
¶ Valentine's Day 2024 "eGirls"
Roughly on this date there are Cat Rain sales, usually between 20% and 30%, lasting for a few days. There are usually no functional or cosmetic changes in Cat Bot nor Cat Stand besides the ads for the sale.
On this day in 2024, eGirl cat spawn rates were multiplied by 10, bringing it up to a 0.487% chance of spawning (20 in 4108), from 0.0487%. This also temporarily changed cats' trade values because of how the calculation for value works.
¶ 100k servers "Quite a lot of rain"
On the day when Cat Bot hit 100,000 servers (June 29th 2025, 11:00 EST), Lia gave away a lot of rain in various ways:
1. Cat Stand Giveaway
-
People who joined Cat Stand and clicked the first reaction under the event newspost joined the 5 day long giveaway.
-
There was a total of 10 winners who got 40 minutes each.
2. Art Contest
-
Again in Cat Stand a channel called "#100k-art-contest" was opened for art submissions.
-
The top 5 people who got the most community votes in 12 days (with ❤️) got 250, 150, 100, 50 and 50 rain minutes respectively.
3. Cat Bot Event
- For 5 days of the event you got 15-25 points on random catches. If you managed to collect 1,000 server-wide points before the time runs out you got 2 minutes of also server-wide rain.
4. Rain Sale
- Cat Bot's shop had a 20% sale for 5 days.
The server count also had an "!" to celebrate the occasion.
¶ Trivia
- All the channels that were dedicated to specific events have only been privated and archived and still technically exist.
