Smudge, a desktop pet for your Mac
A round grey kitten with a white bib. Bouncy, a bit dramatic when things fail.
Smudge comes free with Doja for Mac. It walks along the bottom of your screen and on top of your windows, waves when you hover, naps when things are quiet, and chats with you when you click it.
