I didn't really read the article, because/but I spent a minute or two playing with the cat. Nice little animation.

I love whimsical stuff like this. Software can be very clinical.

Cool, neko, originally created for X by Masayuki Koba. I have it installed on my Slackware System :) To me, as a non-WEB developer, I think that would be hard to do on a WEB Page. As for AT&T vs x86 assembly, it is a flame war I have not heard from in decades and a couple of arguments were hit upon in the article were part of that war. Nice hearing about an old classic war :) I have not even looked at assembly in many decades, and back then I did the bare minimum with help from someone, so most of the article was over my head.

It used to be known as Oneko or Xneko, and chase your Windows or X11 desktop cursor. I once used it on both. Forcing it as a high-contrast distraction upon people who just want to read an article seems like it will discourage some of them. Discouraged people who nevertheless want to read the article, while using their pointing device to scroll, could add this to their uBlock Origin "My filters" tab: ||outerproduct.net/oneko.js$important

  Yeah, I have a habit of tracing roughly where I'm reading with the mouse pointer. Which works exceedingly poorly when that means a cat will be running straight across my field of vision continuously while reading.

Looks like a port of xneko which has been around since at least the early 1990's, I had it on my old Digital workstation
