The creator of pgdog is also the creator of pgcat, so I think they probably don't need to do this.

This reminds me of college. We had to cite our own papers from prior semesters or risk getting kicked out for plagiarism. I don't miss those days :)
I only just now realized

pg cat

pg dog

What's he going to name the next version?

pg emu ?

pg_pachy ?
pg mouse
I disagree, because now I am suspicious as to why there's a glaring omission like that. Never the mind looking at contribution timelines.
"it's not that deep" as the kids say.

In fact postgresML took naming heat because Postgres is right there in the name and they weren't affiliated with the brand. "pg" is just two letters. like WP-engine (literally the name as they say it is "double U P engine").

And a cat and a dog is fun.

don't think they're trying to get one over on you.

I don't think they're trying to get one over me, nor do I think it's _that deep_. One should simply acknowledge the prior projects that led to where you are today, even if they are your own. I 100% stand by my original statement and think that pgDog should mention that they're affiliated or a paid product on top of pgCat!
