desktopPet VS cat-facts

Since I don’t remember it being that popular, I doubt anyone else will remember this, but at one point, there was a program called eSheep that was kind of like pets in your computer. They would walk around on your thumbnails, munch on grass that suddenly appeared, and if you were very lucky, every once in a blue moon, a flying saucer would appear and abduct one of them.

I never came across that one but was referring to this

https://adrianotiger.github.io/desktopPet/This one if done correctly can be loads of fun.

I do not use it so I do not know, however the code is on github and it looks legit

While Neko is the OG, the sheep[1] also holds a place in heart.

[1]: https://github.com/Adrianotiger/desktopPet ; this is a re-implementation, I think?

Here's the project on GitHub, there might be an IOS version there? https://github.com/Adrianotiger/desktopPet

Whether you're a cat person or not, everyone can appreciate a daily dose of feline fun. This API sends out a daily cat fact to keep your users purr-fectly entertained. Cat Facts API

There is a script that calls some web request with task scheduler if you're into cat facts https://github.com/alexwohlbruck/cat-facts
