Cat Fidget: Desktop Pet
A tiny cat for your menu bar
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Drag the cat from your menu bar, let go, and watch it spring home. Try every behavior free; outfits and Custom Photo Pet are optional one-time unlocks.
Put a small interactive cat beneath your Mac's menu bar. Drag it away and it springs home. Let it follow your cursor, bounce across the screen, or leave it there to nap while you work.
The free download includes all five behaviors, both care modes, and the Classic Black cat. Cat Fidget has no account, advertising, analytics, tracking, or subscription.
FIVE WAYS TO PLAY
• Calm keeps the cat close to the menu bar.
• Follow sends it after your cursor, Neko-style.
• Play lets you throw a yarn ball and watch the cat chase it as it rolls and rebounds.
• Elastic pulls it home after you drag and release it.
• Bounce lets you fling it around the screen with 2D physics.
CARE AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU WANT
Use Casual mode as a simple fidget toy. Switch to Devoted mode for hunger, happiness, energy, levels, and care streaks. The cat never dies or runs away.
MAKE IT YOURS
The Classic Black cat is free. Nine additional breeds, wardrobe pieces, themed bundles, and Cat Lover Pass are optional one-time purchases.
CUSTOM PHOTO PET
Choose any photo and preview it as a desktop pet on your Mac. Processing happens on the device, so the photo is not uploaded. Using the photo pet on your desktop is an optional one-time purchase. Cat Lover Pass includes it.
BUILT FOR MAC
Cat Fidget lives in the menu bar without a Dock icon. It supports multiple displays, soft sounds, and haptic feedback on supported trackpads. You can hide the cat at any time from the paw icon.
