I originally saw it as a Mac desktop Init (or whatever the fool things
are called).  I later found a Unix port, called 'xneko' ('neko' being
Japanese for 'cat').  Reading the program's source is entertaining,
since all the comments (and documentation) are in Kanji.

The program is quite simple, though, and works fine everywhere I've
tried it.  One ftp location is expo.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/xneko.tar.Z.
It's probably on Uunet too, though I haven't checked.

Have fun: the kitten is just as disgustingly cute as most real
kittens, and not *nearly* as demanding :-)
