It is no solution closing post without any reaction. Your plugin (showing abandend) is super but I can’t use this while user that uploaded own photos will be overwritten. Only gravatars owner stay besides cats and birds 🙁

Cool and cute idea, cat and bird is a nice choice as an avatar. It works well in WP 5.6.2:) Thanks nice plugin.

I wish there were more varieties of this app, but I love the purpose that it presents – Cat Avatars. I hope you eventually release a list of animals, like dogs, or different stickies like facebook does, for holiday themes or just wanting to switch it up, but this works great. Thank you.

This is an excellent solution to kill two birds with one stone: gravatar cache and the wretchedness of the pre-installed generators.
