Nonspecific string "You have pounced!" ?

Hi!
Does anyone know, what does the string "You have pounced!" mean? Another
question is, if this title is really appropriate?
#: ../pidgin/gtknotify.c:1624
msgid "<span weight=\"bold\" size=\"larger\">You have pounced!</span>"
msgstr "<span weight=\"bold\" size=\"larger\">Sie wurden angestoßen!</span>"
I found, that this string is used as a title for the dialog, where new
buddy alarm events are displayed (see screenshot). Until now, all
attempts to find a German translation which closely translate the
English original (like the active form "Sie haben geklopft!" or the
passive form "Sie wurden angestoßen!") failed because they do not
describe, what really happens in the dialog. See also

Isn't something like "You received new buddy pounces" or just "New
pounces" like in the title more appropriate? One problem is, that there
can be 1 (title "New pounce") or more buddy pounces (title in plural
form "New pounces") in the dialog.
Greetings, Björn
