 ## What it actually does
 
-- It reacts to you. Petting, dragging, typing, scrolling, and cursor play each get their own response, gated by an internal mood model that runs from calm up to zoomies and back.
-- 14 coat patterns ship built in, all recolored at draw time from one role-coded sprite, and you can design, import, and export your own.
-- Every animation is composed into that sprite, limbs included, so all 28 coats across both species get every pose in their own colours without shipping a single extra frame.
-- Every sound is synthesized live with Web Audio: the meow, the purr, the chirp, and an endlessly improvising lo-fi jam. The app ships zero audio files.
-- It keeps you on track. Break and Pomodoro timers, repeating reminders, a pinned note, IMAP unread-mail alerts, and calendar nudges, all delivered by your pet.
-- It knows when your coding agent is thinking, working, or done, and reacts with its paws. Hook configs ship for five agents.
-- The whole thing is a transparent, click-through overlay that stays above every window. Only your pet is clickable.
