I just learned about the Canon Cat a couple of days ago! I wrote up a blog post with some resources and tidbits: https://anderegg.ca/2025/10/13/the-canon-cat

I had a lot of fun with this emulator on Archive.org, and included some quick notes about using it with macOS: https://archive.org/details/canoncat
