Just look at this first post when ANN of kittehcoin is made. This pool is owned by lonestar108.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=383068.msg4118073#msg4118073We didn't talked about that pool in our MEOW related discussions. No one in dev team said to me that we will take over that pool from lonestar108. In fact I think that I have there my coins captured. I have it captured in all other coins I have mined and didn't send any msg to anyone about that. I hate to see people panic about something especially spreading rumors like someone on the IRC said something about something. Imagine situation where complete dev team worked so hard for last month and we will drop all that work for few millions of coins...
