CAT is intended as a fun project by @fraenk instead of an upvote token. For the sake of pigeonholing things it ended up in this category.

The Cat Appreciation Network, @catnet, is the home base of cuddly and furry creatures like @steemkitten, @cuddlekitten and @steemeow. These creatures lurk around Steem blocks and cuddle unsuspecting Steemians with upvotes.

Here lies the significance of the CAT token. It works as CATnip and attracts the felines. CAT has an implicit staking feature: the more CAT you own for a long time, the stronger the smell of your catnip becomes to the catbots.

The cats might also leave behind some CAT if they feel like it. But they are cats. Nobody knows what they think.
