Review

There are a lot of nice things to say about this "furrier alternative to Lorem Ipsum." I like the modestly comedic spot-color design because it actually has some character as opposed to a trite web 2.0 paint-job. I love the unrolled toilet paper next to the sleeping cat and the "litter your copy with more kitty" catch-phrase coming out of the cat in the logo (which reminds me of The Oatmeal's comic btw). Admittedly, I also dig the over-sized paragraph count parameter and submit button. As the world ditches software in favor of "apps," I think user-interface design is becoming inherently more simple as well.

There are three types of placeholder text you can generate with this tool:

Standard Scoops: thoughts and activities of a cat
Lorem Only - Traditional lorem ipsum
Just Breeds - Cat breeds and felines of the animal kingdom

Boolean options (checkboxes) under the heading "Add Catnip" are:

Add a Title
Add Sub copy
Start with "Cat ipsum dolor sit amet..."

The first two options are not as useful as they could be because the heading tags are not included in the output. I could only get the increased font sizes and weights of the title and sub-copy to carry over when pasting into MS Word; and who does design in MS Word?

Because the "standard scoops" generation is so hilarious I've decided to include a sample below the jump.
