Caterer on rattlesnake

Caterer on rattlesnake is a period-33 oscillator that is composed of a caterer and rattlesnake. Although it is composed of two oscillators of smaller periods (3 and 11 respectively), it is considered non-trivial because it contains a single cell that is alive in generation 32 and dead in the other 32 phases of the oscillator. In terms of its 46 cells, it is the smallest known non-trivial period 33 oscillator.
