Thanks! I've never heard of esheep, but have been inspired by some desktop hacks over the years. (Remember that roach program for windows?) The cat animation was lifted from an old DOS game called Alleycat that I loved.

Wasn't aware of the roach program or Alleycat so thanks for the pointers. I can see why you were keen to liberate the cat now I've seen it :) My esheep query seems to have been taken extremely negatively. Rereading it a day later, it does seem to be dripping with snark, though that really wasn't how it was intended. I remember eSheep fondly as a kid, so it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the cat - along with more fondness for someone who'd brought similar to the web. I think some of my early forays into programming were directly attributable to me trying to surreptitiously inflict it on friends and family.
