Can the Cat Crosshair be useful in competitive games or just for fun?

Like many other funny and creative crosshairs in VALORANT Cat Crosshair is less useful and comfortable than regular and famous crosshairs. Cat Crosshair does not have enough empty space inside, which affects the visibility of what the player is aiming at. Moreover, due to the fact that this crosshair is disproportional and not dynamic, spray control might be significantly affected. Thus, using Cat Crosshair will most likely not make the player better in the game but make aiming and spraying more difficult.
