Sill Cats

About this app

Sill Cats is a resident desktop app where tiny cats move onto your desktop.

They walk along the tops of open windows, curl up and sleep in a corner, come closer when the mouse moves, and may suddenly sprint across the screen around 2 a.m. Yes, they have zoomies. If you have ever lived with a cat, you probably understand.

What kind of cats are they?

• Window edges are their walking routes — they stroll along the top edges of open apps.
  
• They jump from window to window — exploring your workspace on their own.
  
• They are curious about the cursor — when the mouse moves, they may quietly come closer. Or not.
  
• Click to play with them — one click may get their attention, two may make them react, and three may make them properly play. Maybe.
  
• Their mood changes by time of day — dawn and dusk are their most active times, while noon is sleepier.
  
• Late-night zoomies — sudden sprints between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. If you see one, consider yourself lucky.
  
• Wide screens are fine — even with multiple monitors, the whole space becomes their walking route.
  
• They usually do not get in the way of your work, but sometimes they may pounce at your cursor. Please forgive them. They are cats.

Start with 2 free cats

Sill Cats is free to start. The first two cats you can welcome are a sleek Abyssinian and a dignified Tuxedo. If you like them, you can add more cats with breed packs.

Additional cats

Purchasing DLC adds more selectable cat appearances and types.

• Cat Pack 1 — Adds 6 cats, including shorthair and longhair cats.
  
• Cat Pack 2 — Adds 4 bobtail cats with short tails.

DLC adds cat appearances and types.
It does not increase the maximum number of cats displayed on screen at the same time.
