I had to go back and enable JavaScript. Wow, is the goal to direct my attention away from reading the text?

Ironically, it actually helped me stay focused on the article. Kind of like a fidget toy. When part of my brain would get bored, I could just move the cat and satisfy that part of my brain while I keep reading.

I know that sounds kind of sad that my brain can't focus that well (and it is), but I appreciated the cat.

I can't see the cat! I went back and it just isn't working for me. I'm sad, I like cats.

Here it is:

Ah, whimsy memories of running that on beige boxen of my youth.

Also remember a similar thing with some Lemmings randomly falling and walking around on windows.

Played way too long having them pile up and yank the window from under them.

If one could click the cat to make it dead, that'd work for everyone?

Would having it sleep be a suitable compromise?

Cats tend to do that.

Then just… put the cursor in the corner? The blog isn’t interactive or anything. I think the cat is cute.

There are plenty of other websites that don't do that. Perhaps one of those would work better for you?
