Felix the Cat

April 13, 2003 7:06 PM from

Any body have a screen program that has a cat walking around your desktop? I forgot all about mine and it kinda looks nice with all the windowblind stuff.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a skinnable cat... or I should say, a proggy that just does some funny stuff on you desktop like a cat walking around, a person dancing on the desktop... a dog giving you a hug? I think that could be a nice addition to Stardock's proggy list... maybe part of windowblinds??

My cat is sooo cute!! He looks at me at times to and walks on top of my window. Now he's looking at TV! Off he goes to the edge of the screen doing who knows what.

Cats are cool...

Thats the screen saver where the cat walks along the bottom and drops from the top? Also comes out of a door? I think we are talking about the same one.

yup that's it. its not really a screen saver cause you can work and the cat just does its thing in the background... like cats do.

I have it somewhere laying in my large list of progs. There is even a bird one. I think they have a bunch of pets and plants. I haven't gotten much into them though. They usually bother me after a while

My favorite virtual kitty is Pixel Pets screensaver. http://www.moggies.co.uk/html/pixelpets.html even the free one is a gas to watch, it's like having a kitten playing around your desktop. Very realistic and sooo cute...

I did skin such a screenmate while ago, was one with a sheep... turned out very wrong... But if you wan't to skin it you should have the program: Icepick. That can open .exe files and skin stuff like that. I did even skin msn with it...

Felix looks pretty cool, I like the fact that it's not a screensaver but runs around on your desktop. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere to download a trial or how much it costs on felix's website.

Besides I just got the aquarium screensaver as a gift and I'm sure felix would probably just eat all the fish...

Lexeyes is another desktop toy, and it is skinnable, too. http://www.steinke.net/lexeyes/ I have had fun with it.

You could try 'Neko". It is a little white cat that runs around on your dekstop. It's free and has a collection of images that you can get to change his appearance. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Haven/4173/neko.html

Neko is cool, I had that way back in 1990. I got the newer one when it was updated for Win95. That was when it came out of the window and actually ran around on the desktop. I eventually got irritated with it and lost it over the years. Thanks for reminding me, it might be fun again for a while.

Jam < are you serious? In that case its all in your mind.

I want a dog soooooo bad. Then I want to skin it to match my windowblinds skin. Now that would be sweet!!
