About the Game

This program simulates a cat's tail, making it seem like a cat is constantly bothering you on your computer screen. Its tail sways according to its mood, determined to obstruct your work. This application serves no purpose other than to annoy you, but you can get your revenge by repeatedly poking its tail with your mouse.

Warning: This software may cause you to unintentionally slam your desk and develop an inexplicable urge to get a real cat.

Features designed to ruin your day:

  • Professional-Level Annoyance: Years of research (i.e., watching our cat, Brooklyn) have resulted in scientifically calculated tail movements for maximum irritation.

  • 12 Hand-Crafted Pixel Art Tails: From a fluffy Persian tail to a sleek Siamese one, you can choose your preferred style of disruption.

  • Import Your Own Tail: Draw your own tail using any software you like, and the system will handle the rest.

  • Customization: Adjust the tail's size (bigger means it blocks more of the screen), position, speed, an "Always On Top" mode, and more.

  • Interactive System: Annoy the cat back by poking its tail with your mouse!

The Story of Brooklyn

This creation was lovingly made in honor of Brooklyn, our cat who is dedicated to thwarting our work in every possible way. All proceeds, after expenses, will go directly towards her wet food fund.

Perfect for:

  • Masochists who feel life is too easy.

  • Cat lovers who want the full experience without the real-life commitment.

  • Pixel artists who are bored with their lives.

  • Anyone looking for a good excuse to procrastinate.
