The cat takes up residence in your Mac's menu bar, and he just keeps running!
The cat will run at a speed that depends on the CPU usage on your Mac.
You can see how much the current CPU usage is by looking at the running of the cat.
How about looking at a cat while waiting for a video to be exported or a program to be built?

Cat Color Changed + Inconsistency
minovermax
I loved the previous version and default cat. After the update, the cat is now black which does not blend in with the default colors of the icons of the menu bar. I can understand if you could select between white and black, but just changing it to black doesn’t seem optimal. What’s the point of having the “Use the system accent color” setting for then? Also, the default cat icon when using another display (The icon of the stationary runcat of displays that are not selected) is still white. No consistency. I loved the app but now I want to delete it as it doesn’t blend in the menu bar at all. If these issues are fixed I will revert back to my 5 star review. The “Report an Issue” button didn’t work so I’m submitting a review.
Developer Response
I apologize for the inconvenience. The color issue has been fixed in the latest version, so please update.
Back to being a great app

Previous version was sweet — lots of animations to pick from and they looked great in the menu bar. Version 3.0 comes with only 3 animations and on my iMac running High Sierra with 2 monitors it’s just a white box on a black menu bar. Worthless. Hopefully the developer will address the issue. If you have a previous version, I suggest you don’t update.UPDATE: I wrote the above review on 1/24 and the developer quicky fixed the issue. And a running human was added. Loving this app again.
Almost purrfect!

This is a great app that lets you know if your Mac is being overloaded, and can show you quick readable stats! I love the animations and the characters, plus the character creator tool.The only thing holding it from being purrfect is the lack of temperature sensor support, I'd love to see my Mac temperatures. I think it would be a nice additional extension that could add a new animation, maybe making something sweat by higher heats. Or maybe a gradient in the characters as the temperature? I think there is a lot that can be done.Regardless, its a fun tool and I really like it!
Love this app but I have one suggestion

I love this and it does exactly what is says really well. I love all the runners and I have mine on the car driving through the city. I have one suggestion though. It’d be cool if there was also like a to-do list you can access when you click on the runner. It’d be great, convenient and easy to access. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, a basic list function would be a great feature!
