Cat goes "Meow"

Question 1

`cat` goes "Meow"

We are all familiar with the concept of a cat program. The user types something in, it is echoed back to the user. Easy. But all cat programs I've seen so far have missed one fact: a cat goes "Meow". So your task is to write a program that copies all STDIN to STDOUT UNLESS the input is cat, in which case your program should output cat goes "Meow".

Scoring

This is code-golf, so your score is your byte count, with a few modifiers:

If your program works for any additional animals other than cat (e.g. cow: cow goes "Moo"), for each additional animal: -10
If your program doesn't use the word "cat": -15
If your program responds to fox with "What does the fox say": -25

Animals and sounds that go together:

cow goes moo duck goes quack sheep goes baa bees go buzz frogs go croak

Anything else on this list is allowed.

Rules

Standard loopholes apply
You must not write anything to STDERR
You can use single quotes/no quotes instead of double quotes.

Leaderboard

Here is a Stack Snippet to generate both a regular leaderboard and an overview of winners by language.

To make sure that your answer shows up, please start your answer with a headline, using the following Markdown template:

## Language Name, N bytes

where N is the size of your submission. If you improve your score, you can keep old scores in the headline, by striking them through. For instance:

## Ruby, <s>104</s> <s>101</s> 96 bytes

If there you want to include multiple numbers in your header (e.g. because your score is the sum of two files or you want to list interpreter flag penalties separately), make sure that the actual score is the last number in the header:

## Perl, 43 + 2 (-p flag) = 45 bytes

You can also make the language name a link which will then show up in the leaderboard snippet:

## [><>](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish), 121 bytes

Question 2

For the bonuses: What does the fox say?

Question 3

For the bonuses: can each additional animal be singular, or does "bees" always have to be plural, as in your list?

Question 4

Cats say meow..

Question 5

Instead of double quotes, can you use single ones? Also, can you output to stderr?

Question 6

Why is there no link to this in this challenge?

Question 8

I feel like the bonus should be -10%, not -10 bytes. That would give a diminishing return to prevent abuses like this. (And that's 10% multiplied each time, not 10% of original added up, otherwise you'd only need 10 animals to get a score of 0 no matter how long the code was...)

Question 9

@DarrelHoffman I'll bear that in mind for all future challenges.

Downside: you have to write the name of the animal with the first letter in uppercase and the rest in lowercase. Look below for another version which fixes this. This version escapes the a in cat with \x61 and includes code for the 22 extra animals from this list (all the allowed animals which had short enough words to be worth it):

bee buzz 7

cattle moo 9
cow moo 6

alert(result);

First version, 45 bytes - 15 bonus = 30

alert((i=prompt())=='\x63at'?i+' goes "Meow"':i)

Yes, I know. I went from 30 to 29 with ALL that extra work. It was fun!

Version that allows full lowercase input, 294 bytes - 235 bonus = 59

I also tried removing casing from the data array with .join().toLowerCase().split(',') but it ended up taking 297 characters instead.

Question 22

edit: fixed quote marks and capital on meow (although the question isn't consistent with capitals)

Question 23

And... my work here is done, proving that the -10 bonus was just enough :)

Question 24

APL (Dyalog), 28 - 15 = 13 bytes

{⍵,' goes "Meow"'/⍨⍵≡⌽'tac'}

Input followed by goes "Meow" if input is equivalent to tac reversed.

Try it online!

{...} anonymous function

⌽'tac' reverse the string (to get the -15 bonus by avoiding the characters cat)

⍵≡ Boolean for whether the argument is identical to that

' goes "Meow"'/⍨ use that to filter the string (i.e. returns empty string if false)

⍵, append to the argument

You can drop the double-quotes around Meow.

no, that's actually part of the question

Question 29

How about 'c\at' instead of 'ca'+'t'?

Try it out online

My first post on this platform, as well as my first code-golf challenge and my first code in LOLCODE, so there's probably lots to improve. I tried avoiding the "cat" with casting the equivalent hex-code ":(63):(61):(74)" instead, but it didn't work out for me. If you know a solution to this, please let me know!

*+9 Bytes because I didn't read the instructions clear enough

Question 33

Welcome to CGCC! Your TIO link appears to be blank, though the code itself looks valid

Question 34

Thanks for pointing that out @JoKing I fixed the link, it should include the code now.

Question 35

the code turns "cat" into "Meow", but it should instead turn it into "cat goes Meow". Still nice code though!

Question 36

Thanks @Belhenix. I fixed it for the price of adding 9 bytes. Sadly the use of a variable for "cat" would've turned out to be 5 bytes longer, so I chose to stick with the uglier code.

Uses dictionary-based compression to store the words. Pyke is older than the question.

Animals it knows:

{'seals': 'bark', 'turkeys': 'gobble', 'mosquitos': 'whine', 'curlews': 'pipe', 'dogs': 'howl', 'sheep': 'bleat', 'elephants': 'trumpet', 'eagles': 'scream', 'raccoons': 'trill', 'goats': 'bleat', 'donkeys': 'bray', 'monkey': 'whoop', 'snakes': 'hiss', 'wolves': 'howl', 'grasshoppers': 'chirp', 'ferrets': 'dook', 'geese': 'honk', 'ducks': 'quack', 'chinchillas': 'squeak', 'oxen': 'low', 'pigs': 'snort', 'lions': 'snarl', 'antelopes': 'snort', 'crows': 'caw', 'hamsters': 'squeak', 'ravens': 'croak', 'leopards': 'snarl', 'tapirs': 'squeak', 'lambs': 'bleat', 'horses': 'neigh', 'jaguars': 'snarl', 'crickets': 'chirp', 'moose': 'bellow', 'cattle': 'moo', 'deer': 'bellow', 'rooks': 'caw', 'dolphins': 'click', 'whales': 'sing', 'owls': 'hoot', 'walruses': 'groan', 'cicadas': 'chirp', 'tigers': 'snarl', 'chickens': 'cluck', 'giraffes': 'bleat', 'mice': 'squeak', 'peacocks': 'scream', 'songbirds': 'sing', 'geckos': 'croak', 'frogs': 'croak', 'pigeons': 'coo', 'swans': 'cry', 'bitterns': 'boom', 'rhinoceros': 'bellow', 'cats': 'purr', 'badgers': 'growl', 'magpies': 'chatter', 'vultures': 'scream', 'elk': 'bleat'}

Question 38

Why is this marked as noncompetitive?

Question 39

At the time of writing, there was a rule where languages older than the question were non-competing

Question 40

languages older than the question? or languages newer than the question? because im pretty sure it was the latter :P either way, you can take off the noncompetitive mark, site has new standards :-)

Question 41

GNU sed, 37 - 15 = 22 bytes

sed -r 's/^(\x63at)$/1円 goes "Meow"/'

Question 42

sed '/^c[a]t$/s/$/ goes "Meow"/' saves a few bytes. But the new 5% bonus is worthless compared to the original 15 byte bonus for not having "cat".

Question 43

@GlennRanders-Pehrson Not any more!

Question 44

MATLAB, 58 - 15 = 43 bytes

Pretty straight forward, with bonus for not using cat in the code:

x=input('');if isequal(x,'dbu'-1);x=[x ' goes "Meow"'];end;x

Input must be given inside single quotes: ' '.

Question 45

In its current form, this doesn't output correctly if 'cat' is given as input. You probably forgot x= within the if-statement.

Question 46

But I'll also give you a tip to win back these bytes plus an additional 2: replace your entire if-statement by: if~any(x-'dbu'+1)

Question 47

@slvrbld, thanks for noticing, it happened after I made an edit. BTW: your suggestion doesn't work for inputs that aren't 3 characters. =)

Question 48

Ah, you're correct. I was too focused on the cat and fox and forgot about the rest.

Question 49

Javascript, 117 bytes

I definitely haven't won here, but I've covered a lot of extra animals.

Question 50

HALT, 71 - 15 = 56 bytes

1 IF "cat" 2 ELSE 3

Question 51

C++11, 316 - 11*10 - 15 = 191 bytes

#include <map>
#define t(a,b){#a,#b},
using s=std::string;int main(){std::map<s,s>m{t(cow,moo)t(crow,caw)t(dog,bark)t(hog,oink)t(lark,sing)t(lion,roar)t(oxen,low)t(rook,caw)t(seal,bark)t(sheep,baa)t(swan,cry){"c""at","meow"}};s l;while(int i=~getchar())l+=~i;printf("%s",(m[l]==""?l:l+" goes \""+m[l]+'"').c_str());}

Compiles well with VisualStudio. GCC wants me to #include <string> and #include <cstdio>. It would be shorter if I wouldn't go for bonuses, but I still hope author revises bonuses. I can't think of language where defining cow -> moo or so is way way shorter than 10bytes. Mine cost 3+key+value bytes for additional animal and flat 22+17 bytes for defining structure and so.

Ungolfed

#include <map>
#define t(a, b) { #a, #b },
using s = std::string;
int main()
{
 std::map<s, s> m{
 t(cow,moo)
 t(crow,caw)
 t(dog,bark)
 t(hog,oink)

 };
 s l;
 while (int i = ~getchar())
 l += ~i;
 printf("%s", (m[l] == "" ? l : l + " goes " + m[l]).c_str());
}

Question 52

"t(crow,caw)" has a length of 11. So getting rid of that to "t(swan,cry)" would drop 14 bytes. And admittedly make it less fun :(

Question 53

@user, As I said, I still hope author revises bonuses.

Question 54

You should state C++11 in the headline. Python 2 and 3 are also always distinct noted. While the using is no big deal, the initializer list is.

Question 55

@KarlNapf Thanks for pointing that out.

Question 56

You can also change #include <map> to #import<map> for -2 bytes. The space before < can be omitted and #import throws some warnings but is accepted be GCC and MSVC
