🐾 CatBot – The Purrfect IRC Companion

By Scientist

CatBot is a lightweight and modular IRC bot built in Go (Golang), designed to bring fun, personality, and a little cat magic to your IRC channels. At the heart of CatBot is Purrito — a virtual cat with moods, memory, and a love meter that tracks how each user treats them. CatBot listens to user messages, reacts in real-time, and remembers how much love (or trouble!) you have given to Purrito.

🧡 The Love Meter – Yes, Purrito Has Feelings 🧡

Every user has a personal love meter ranging from 0% to 100%. This meter reflects how much Purrito trusts and likes you based on your interactions.

How it Works

types: !pet purrito

• Petting Purrito 🐾
• Reads your current love meter ❤️
• Randomly decides whether Purrito accepts or rejects your affection

Example Reactions

• Positive: meows happily, rubs against your leg, purrs warmly, etc.
• Grumpy: glares at you coldly, swats your hand away, hides under the couch, etc.

You will also see:

• Your updated love percentage
• A visual meter like: [❤️❤️❤️░░░░░░░]

Command

• !pet purrito – Pet Purrito and build your bond
• !lovemeter – See who purrito loves the most
• !purrito – Show this help/introduction

That’s it! How Purrito responds depends on your love level. No two reactions are exactly the same 🐱

Features

• Written in idiomatic Go with a clean modular architecture
• Tracks love level per user — Purrito remembers each person
• Randomized reactions and emotes influenced by your love meter
• Real-time command parsing using the goirc library
• Timed spawns — Purrito appears every 30 minutes
