Cats were once very popular on the internets, but that time has passed. It's time to update our look and feel before we release Scratch 2.0! We thought long and hard about what new animal to choose. Then we realized the answer was staring us in the face every time we browse the webs: Ponies. Cats Scratch - something that's mean and hurtful. But what do ponies do? They Neigh! So Scratch 2.0 will no longer be called Scratch - it'll be called Neigh!
