About the Game

This is a virtual cat that keeps you company on your computer desktop.

It needs you to buy items for it, feed it, give it water, clean up its waste, and play with it.

To buy these items, you need to earn coins by "working"—the game converts your detected keyboard keystrokes and mouse movement distance into corresponding coins. (Don't worry, no input information will be collected. Some systems may require you to enable certain permissions for tracking keyboard and mouse activity. For macOS users, please go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and allow Accessibility and Input Monitoring.) Input statistics are recorded every 24 hours. Seeing your daily computer activity may just be a nice achievement!

Public Cheat Code:Enter makegold on your keyboard in sequence during the game. A new interface will appear.While this interface is displayed, your gold coin acquisition rate will be increased by 1.5x.Additionally, you will receive 50 gold coins instantly the first time you enter it each day.

This game features desktop pass-through, so you can use any desktop wallpaper as your cat's home. To this end, I've added a cat activity area setting and a restricted zones feature. Combined with the in-game furniture placement system, you can design a more comfortable space for your cat. (Try not to leave small gaps, as the cat or its toys may get stuck inside. If this happens, simply drag them out with your mouse.)

Hope you enjoy its company and have fun!

About This Game

This project helped me get through a difficult period to some extent. I poured my heart and soul into it to escape the troubles of other matters. As I'm not a professional programmer, I put in extra effort and focus, which may have left some flaws in the game. I hope you can understand if you encounter them, and please email me. Thank you again.
