About This Game

Sill Cats is an always-running desktop app that lets little cats move right into your PC's desktop.

They trot along your open windows, curl up in some corner for a peaceful nap, and come padding over with a curious "ooh, what's this?" whenever your mouse moves. And at 2 a.m., they might suddenly start sprinting across your screen at full speed. Yes, they get proper zoomies. If you've ever lived with a cat, you know roughly what we mean.

What Are These Cats Like?

• The whole desktop is their strolling course — they wander leisurely around all sorts of places on your desktop

• They hop onto windows — and explore your workspace as they please

• Endlessly curious about your cursor — when the mouse moves, they may sneak up on it… or may not

• Click and they'll play with you — one click catches their attention, two gets a reaction, and three might just get them properly playing, maybe

• Their mood changes with the time of day — liveliest at dawn and dusk, completely flopped over at midday (that's the thing they call "crepuscular")

• Late-night zoomies — sudden dashes somewhere between 1 and 4 a.m.; consider yourself lucky if you catch one

• Big screens are no problem — however many monitors you have, every one of them becomes part of their strolling course

• They usually stay out of the way while you work, though now and then they'll pounce on your cursor. Please let it slide. They're cats, after all.

• And if you find a favorite, give them a name and make them your very own cat.

Adopt Two Cats for Free

Sill Cats is free to start. The first two cats you can welcome are a sleek Abyssinian and a dapper tuxedo cat. If you grow fond of them, you can add more friends with breed packs. Even the time spent deciding which cat to welcome first is part of the fun.

By default, only one cat is shown. If you'd like both cats on screen at the same time, click the cat sign or right-click the icon in the Windows task tray and welcome the second one from the menu.

About Additional Cats

Switching cat breeds, quitting the app, and changing various options are all done from the settings menu.
