Aww, firefox makes the page scroll with arrow keys :( I'm not sure if I would override that though, maybe have alternate controls like "wasd" or something similar.

P.S. I looked at the code for the cat and I really like it. Nice and simple.

Thank you! I made a library out of it (http://yobert.github.io/catify/) if you want to add it to something of yours!

That's so cute!!!!! I think I'll add it to my personal site, ty :D

Bravo! You get a star.

esheep inspired at all?

I was amused when it dropped from the top and I played around resizing the window to make it fall. Casually dropping "use arrow keys to move cat!" under hobby programming was a lovely way of revealing that and rewarding the reader.

Thanks! I've never heard of esheep, but have been inspired by some desktop hacks over the years. (Remember that roach program for windows?) The cat animation was lifted from an old DOS game called Alleycat that I loved.

Wasn't aware of the roach program or Alleycat so thanks for the pointers. I can see why you were keen to liberate the cat now I've seen it :)

My esheep query seems to have been taken extremely negatively. Rereading it a day later, it does seem to be dripping with snark, though that really wasn't how it was intended. I remember eSheep fondly as a kid, so it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the cat - along with more fondness for someone who'd brought similar to the web. I think some of my early forays into programming were directly attributable to me trying to surreptitiously inflict it on friends and family.
