Free Companion

Every one is an independently catalogued specimen — nearly seventy cats, each with her own name, coat, temperament, and cited inspiration; none are the random cross-products of a few variables. The first is yours to adopt free; keep her company through some contented days, and a second will steep into being at the corner of your desk — later members join by redemption code.

Of This Volume

No Two Alike

Nearly seventy cats, each compiled by hand — her own name, palette, temperament, and source of inspiration. Mia is a ginger tabby who watches sparrows; Monsieur Blanc, a Birman who sniffs thrice before every meal. None are interchangeable.

She Lives on Your Desktop

Install the desktop companion, and your cat strolls along the tops of your windows — calling out when hungry, batting at the little mouse in the screen's corner when bored.

Visits Between Friends

Your cat may stay a while at a friend's place and return having made new acquaintances — much like paying a call in the world outside.

How They Come to You

Another Way to Arrive · Redemption Codes

Should a redemption code come your way—gifted by a friend, handed out at an event, or bought from the shop—right-click your pet, choose "Add New Cat," and enter it. A new specimen box appears at the corner of your screen, waiting to be opened.

It runs alongside ordinary unlocking—neither interrupting the slow raising of cats, while giving the generous a way to gift one. Each code answers to a single unique set of markings, never opened by two collectors at once.

Codes may be gifted by friends or bought from the web shop · not for purchase under age 8
