Jillian,
My sincerest excuses regarding this. Cryptocat claims full responsibility for this issue. There was indeed a bug that would limit the number of cat facts displayed per Cryptocat session to a maximum of 2 (two) cat facts. This has already been fixed and is awaiting release in the next version:

In the meantime, Cryptocat will be deploying a Cat Care Package in order to alleviate the shortage of cat media that Cryptocat users may be facing. The Cat Care Package may be accessed here:

We are currently in the process of writing a meow-dvisory to address the situation. It may take us a mew moments, but I am purr-sonally confident that we will do everything paw-ssible to prevent this situation from cat-apulting into something worse.

Thanks very much for your patience and understanding.
