Coming soon for Windows.

On Your Desktop

It strolls along your taskbar, naps on top of your windows and rides along when you move them. Step away and it curls up to sleep; come back and it stretches awake.

A Windows desktop with four cats: a tuxedo sitting on top of a Notepad window, a gray tabby in a cardboard box on the taskbar, an orange tabby asleep in its bed and a calico walking along the taskbar under its name tag.

Its Own Slice of Home

Its bed doubles as the entrance to its own slice of home. Customize and furnish the room as you see fit, or use one from the Workshop.

The house open in its own window over the desktop: an orange tabby asleep in its bed by the stove, a tuxedo sitting on the rug, a calico loafing by a ball of yarn and a gray tabby on a cushion. The empty cat bed waits on the taskbar below.

Keep It Company

Pet it, pick it up and set it down wherever you like. Rub its belly too long and it swats.

A calico purring with its eyes shut under the hand, its card open above it: Take Control, Go Outside, Edit Cat and Swap Cat.

Fill the House

Up to four cats can live with you. They groom each other and chase the same ball of yarn.

Be the Cat

Take control to run along the taskbar, leap up onto your windows and hop back down.

The orange tabby leaping onto the top of a Notepad window, with the tip: Arrow keys or WASD move it. Space or up jumps. Escape lets go.

Make It Home

Rearrange the furniture, repaint the walls, put out toys and decorate for the holidays. Outside its window the sky keeps your time of day, and it can follow your local weather too.

The orange tabby on the window sill watching snow fall at dusk, the houses across the street lighting their windows.
The Redecorate panel open in the cabin-style room, with its colors and wallpapers; a gray tabby and a Siamese sit on a plaid rug.
The cottage room decorated for the holidays: a menorah on the window sill, oil lamps on a rangoli, a jack-o'-lantern and a sugar skull, with a white cat asleep in its bed.

Create Your Own Cats

Shape and color a cat in the creator, right down to the whiskers. Finish it off with a bow tie, or paint its coat by hand.

The Cat Creator: a tuxedo cat in a party hat and a bow tie turning on the floor, beside the Accessories section with their color swatches.

Have Friends Over

Their cats can visit yours, over Steam or your home network. They bring their own bed, play with your toys and wander out onto your desktop.

A visit: a friend's gray tabby, Pepper, sits by the pink bed it brought, next to the host's orange tabby; their name tags read Pepper, Ann's cat, and Orange Tabby.

Watch Something Together

Share a window or your whole screen with the friends visiting, sound and all. They watch in a window of their own while the cats wander about.
