Taskbar Cat Club

Adopt a club of pixel cats that live on your desktop. They stroll along your taskbar, nap on your monitors, climb your windows, chase your cursor, and wander from screen to screen, always on top and never in your way.

About the Game

Your desktop has room for a few more residents.

Taskbar Cat Club fills the bottom of your screen with tiny pixel cats that live their own little lives while you work, browse, or play. They walk the taskbar line, doze off in heaps, groom, stretch, knead, get the zoomies, and occasionally do something silly when they think you are not looking.

They live on YOUR desktop

Pixel cats living on a two-monitor desktop: one riding a window being dragged, one perched on a window's roof, one clinging to a window's edge, one walking across the gap between two monitors, and one being dropped onto a window ledge.
  • Cats walk along the taskbar and across every monitor you own
  • They climb on top of your open windows, ride them when you move them, and peer down from the edges
  • Pick a cat up and drop it anywhere, including on a window ledge

They know you are there

A pixel cat being petted under a shower of hearts, a cat leaping at a mouse cursor being wiggled, a startled cat bolting away, and the game's club menu and cat-shaped settings panel.
  • Pet a cat for a burst of hearts
  • Wiggle the cursor near a cat and it pounces and paws at it, or turn on Skittish mode and watch it bolt in terror instead
  • Right-click any cat for the club menu, or Alt+click to open the cat-shaped settings panel

They stay out of the way

A mouse cursor pressing a button inside a window while a cat sits undisturbed on its roof, two cats running off a monitor that is running a fullscreen game, a flat CPU graph, and the app asleep as a system tray icon.
  • Click-through everywhere except directly on a cat, so your desktop stays 100% usable
  • Shy cats automatically vacate any monitor running a fullscreen game
  • Run in background mode tucks the app into the system tray
  • Built to sip resources: no giant overlay window, no input lag, tuned frame caps

A club worth joining

All 24 adoptable cat coats, twelve sitting along a far taskbar and twelve along the near one, in two art styles, with one very small demon cat.
  • 24 adoptable coats across two art styles, from classic tabbies to a tiger cub, a calico, collared classics and one very small demon
  • Adopt as many cats as your screens can hold
  • Cats keep their size across mixed-DPI monitors, and remember where they were between sessions

No needs bars. No guilt. Just cats.
