Synopsis

$ CatDog

Description

CatDog is an animated screenmate application in the form of a virtual pet.

It was inspired by Neko. The name derives from its ambiguous appearance: is it a cat, a dog, or a hybrid?

Its helpful suggestions evoke the animated assistants popular at the turn of the millennium, such as Clippy.

Alongside Buggie and the Yaks, CatDog is a much loved member of the SerenityOS family of mascots. As such it has a wider presence in the projects online community, promotional materials and merchandise.

Features

By default, CatDog will chase your mouse cursor around the screen. It will always stay on-top of other windows.

Additionally, CatDog offers helpful suggestions depending on the currently active application.

CatDog has multiple states:

  • Sleeping if the mouse cursor hasnt moved in some time
  • Alert if woken by the mouse cursor or speaking after being idle
  • Dressed as an Artist if Pixel Paint or Font Editor are open
  • Dressed as an Inspector if Profiler or System Monitor are open

To exit, right-click on CatDog and select Quit or, if active, press Alt+F4.

CatDog brings good luck to those who keep it open.
