I was thinking “this reminds me of stuff we messed around with in the 1990s”, then I realized it’s the same stuff:
I named my cat Neko as a teen because of this program!
You named your cat “cat”, in Japanese
That was the idea!
It clicked for me when the cat sat down
A demo video that’s 50% package installation output, 50% early-2000s mouse cursor changer. And I watched every second of it
Hey, it’s also natively available in Termux!
Direct image linkI really hope this gets ported to Wayland someday, I’d love to have a little neko in my computer!
I was there 3000 years ago.
Wish it was possible to get this on Wayland, but the APIs aren’t there yet…
I use Arch with Wayland and it worked… Sort of…the idle animation was a bit busy as in it looked a lot like the frames between each animation weren’t erasing, but the mouse chase worked quite well.
It works (somewhat) while your cursor is hovering over XWayland windows but once you move over something native it will keep chasing to the last spot.
there’s also a multiplatform implementation in Go

Not sure what garbled the link the but here it is
oops, something went wrong while I was typing it. fixed, thanks
For Android there is aneko and aneko plus.
Now I don’t want to move my cursor
Is there something like that for iOS and for Windows too?
This is what I thought of when I saw oneko.
for iOS, maybe Pixel Pals?
There are various versions, some old. Search for “neko for windows”.
I’m definitely curious if it would work if you SSH’d to a Linux machine from iOS. cmatrix works perfectly, but this seems like it has more opportunity for error since it seems to follow your mouse, which wouldn’t be connected on most phones.
Thanks!!
