About This Game

Taskbar Cat is a cozy desktop pet game for Windows. Adopt a cat family and share your taskbar with little companions who wander, nap, groom, stretch, and occasionally get the zoomies while you work, study, or browse.

Designed to help you relax and unwind, Taskbar Cat offers gentle companionship and cozy little breaks throughout your day.

Meet your new companions

Every adoption brings a cat with its own coat, eye color, personality, and habits. Get to know an affectionate attention-seeker, a playful bundle of energy, or a devoted nap enthusiast. Give your cats names, explore their profiles, and choose which companions join you on the desktop.

Make time for the little things

Pet your cats with a few gentle movements of your pointer, pick them up and move them, or invite them to chase. Bring out the toy ball and roll or toss it for a play break. Sometimes a cat will simply look at you, meow, and decide it has other plans.

Serve meals, refill bowls, offer treats, and keep litter boxes clean. Between moments of care, watch your cats settle into their own routines, from sleepy stretches to sudden bursts of energy.
