Hello!! I love it, it's adorable *-* But I follow the steps to change color but it doesn't change, why? Thank you for create this <3
i go me a lil guy. his name is Toby and i would kill for him.
unfortunately, they only spin in place for me :c

Best cat
bruh what the hell how do i fix this crap
happens if you don't unzip the folder before running
but i did
hm that's weird then
did you click 'extract all' ?
when i first downloaded, i thought the file was unzipped, but that fixes the issue
ok ok ill try again, tell me step by step what to do cuz maybe i messed something up
After you download, you're gonna want to right click the zipped folder and hit 'extract all.'
Then, double click on the 'executable' folder and finish off by double clicking on 'CatCompanion' - make sure you're clicking the one that says 'Application' under the 'Type' section
could i close the cat or disable it whenever i want? and then open it back whenever i want to?
Very adorable, very joyous musst have ! （￣︶￣）
Lets say you want to delte them for a time while you study and get them back after? Does that work?
It's adorable, but I wish they had toys so you could interact more with them
AHHHHH SO CUTE AHHHHHHHHHHHH
love it!!
could I have the cat and bunny both downloaded and active at the same time?
yes
qwq可爱捏
So cute! Throw, throw, throw! One problem, I’m not sure why, but sometimes it darkens my taskbar :/
I just found my procrastination tool :O
hes staring at me then doing backflips
Cute!!
when i open it a weird white box appears on my screen and i can only get rid of it if i hold escape. Can someone pls help? i just want kitties:
or is it my laptop:
Maybe redownload the game? It's probably that the images for the cat are not in the file? Idk
Let us pat the cat, please
Pet the Cat by using hold Right Click.
on mouse or what i wanna pet himm
How do I open this?
how do I download this?
Ah finally a good program virtual cat!
I wish you adds treats and water for hunger and thirst and litter box (?) and everything (Not just everything but think about it) just like a real cat (pet), so It will make my day better until I get a Real Cat in home. and Add a Cat communication Meow (Sounds) with Button like, ON and OFF and also a volume slider. <--- (Not necessary If you want?) (I am sure It wouldn't be too intense work?)
Anyway, I will use The Cat Companion in the meantime.
yo Developer of this.
i just wanted to say:
1. this is the best fricking app i downloaded on my PC
2. is that open source? or can i get that source please?
3. when i have that little cat on my taskbar or anywhere, is my Graphic card automatically used for 54%. why so much? (i have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 9,5GB)
cat on ⤵
cat off ⤵
Thank you.
ps: idk if i can get messages from this website, if you answer, dm me on discord: v0d4.exe or write me an email: v0d4.exe@gmail.com
thank you again :D
I'm now also curious, has the dev replied to you?
No, not yet, but I will let you know when he does.
still no reply :/
it wont open?
how do i close it?
Hey, holding escape closes it after a few seconds
could you compile for linux please? It doesnt work right with WINE.
discord notification banners stop appearing on my screen if i leave it running. Is there any way I can fix it?
Best thing ever made. Me happy 10/10.
also, by far, this is the most advanced pet companion executable I've come across. the ability to name, multiply, resize, colorize? insane.. this lovely project could grow
I would die if we could throw the bunny some food!!!! <3 I LOVE YOUR PET I HAVE IT ON ALL THE TIME. optionally, we could have a lovemeter functionality. I'm a dev myself maybe i could help u out if ur open source
This is very cute<3
:3
Они очень милые, но они удаляются после завершения работы, можно сделать так, чтобы они не удалились?
This is very cute loved it especially when there are a los of tiny cats and i place a lot of windows so that the cats can climb them.
Also i would love to see more options when customising a cat.Like something that "KatMan:3" Said of giving the cats accessories like hats, ties, tiebows ETC.
IM SOBBING, They are so cyoot!! Except I CANT GET EM OFF MY SCREEN ;-; Can someone tell me how?
NVM!! I got it :3
My cat is spinning in circles and i's slightly concerned-
I dunno if its a bug or the cat is supposed to spin when you first download it, but if its not supposed to happen please fix the bug.
Yeah, same for me
At first time everything worked well, but then something happened and now the cats keep spinning endlessly at the bottom or above windows
after extracting the file and try to run it these two errors pop up
"the code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dil was not found"
"the code execution cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME140.dil was not found"
I've reinstalled em' four times now but the same thing shows up :<
-on windows
pls help
i'm having trouble installing :( says it can't properly read the 'build' of undefined?? please help this is so cute i want it!! lol
You're probably using the itch client, right? CC currently doesn't work with this. Just download the file through the website itself and extract from .rar
You don't need to install anything :P
Itch client now operational
is it virus
it is not a viru
Your a virusYou are missing some letters anyway ty
you're a virus*
and yes, i already knew that i missed some letters.
