For who wonders about the waving cat: These are used a lot at hacker conferences to check if the cams are still working (and not frozen). Shenanigans on the network are of course common at these events :) So they are put on the stages while nothing is on.

This was a big success and it turned out to be a bit of a mascotte :P They've become a permanent fixture now.

I always wondered about this. Thank you.
