Popular social networking app, Curious Cat has lost control of its domain.
Soon after the platform announced losing control of their domain, a series of bizarre events and support responses have confused the app users who are now unable to trust Curious Cat.
A domain enters 'pendingDelete' status shortly following a grace period after the domain owner fails to renew the domain.
"Your domain will remain in this status for several days, after which time your domain will be purged and dropped from the registry database," explains ICANN. "Once deletion occurs, the domain is available for re-registration in accordance with the registry's policies."
Quite possibly, Curious Cat's tweets referring to an updated "Recovered" app were indicative of the platform restoring Twitter API integration after its domain name changed.
Following a series of these bizarre events, many Curious Cat patrons [1, 2, 3, 4] have decided to keep their distance from the service, with some disconnecting Curious Cat from their Twitter until the situation becomes clearer.
