They don't ask you to "acknowledge that your website is not related to cats at all", they're asking you to confirm that the website "serve(s) the needs of the Catalan Linguistic and Cultural Community on the Internet" by entering what the intended use is. Signed, owner of emsh.cat.

One could say by having the websites become popular and viral, and offering versions of the their websites in Catalan, they are spreading Catalan culture to more parts of the internet. We're having a discussiong about it right now, others are reading, pretty big impact from just the TLD choice :)
