💛 A LITTLE COMPANY WHILE YOU WORK

• Enjoy walking, sitting, stretching, grooming, scratching, and playful little jumps.

• Move your cursor near your companion to interact. An active cat may play, while a sleepy cat may enjoy gentle attention or simply keep resting.

• Offer food, brush its coat, or give it a shampoo whenever you want to spend a moment together. These care activities happen when you choose them.

• Your cat takes naps automatically when it gets tired.

• Your companion usually stays away from your cursor to help keep your workspace comfortable.

• Need to concentrate? Hide your cat temporarily and bring it back from its notification-area icon.
