A cat that lives on your desktop
The cat sits in a corner of your screen and simply exists alongside you. It naps, stretches, kneads the ground, purrs, and occasionally throws tiny hearts your way. When it wants something, a little bubble appears, and you can pet, feed or play with it. The purring sounds so real it is almost unfair.
Hats, toys and hundreds of ways to make it yours
Playing with your cat earns purr points, and the points buy things: hats, accessories, toys, furniture, cozy spots to sit, even the fur color and eye color. There are hundreds of items, with jokes and references tucked among them, and more than most people expect. You can buy exactly what you want, or leave it to chance with the random drop system and the mystery rewards that come as your affection level grows. Furniture and cat can be rotated in any direction, so the whole little scene can be arranged to fit your desktop.
Little jobs for a little cat
The cat keeps itself busy, and you can join in or ignore it entirely. Send it fishing and it will come back with fish of all sorts of silly names and grades. It can type on your keyboard, swat at toys, chase a robot vacuum around the screen, or turn its back and watch videos with you. There are small care routines too, like feeding, a shower and the litter box, because even a desktop cat has needs. None of it demands attention, and none of it is required. Most of the time the cat just lounges around, and that is the point.
