A Launchpad bug report describes a cat sitting on a keyboard and making the Ubuntu login screen freeze. The joke is that a ridiculous cat-related accident is documented with serious technical bug-report language, including reproduction steps and a formal resolution. It is used as a reaction to absurd real-world problems that receive unexpectedly professional troubleshooting.
