Torres adds to the description saying that the owner of this Nyan Cat remastered edition will receive 10 charisma, 10 luck and 15 happiness. This is the original Nyan Cat but with some slight changes. Torres told The Verge that one star would pop in out of nowhere so he removed it from the remastered edition. He added that there are no plans of releasing another original image of Nyan Cat. So there would be only one sole owner of Nyan Cat.
