Description
The cat takes up residence in your Mac's menu bar, and he just keeps running!
The cat will run at a speed that depends on the CPU usage on your Mac.
You can see how much the current CPU usage is by looking at the running of the cat.
How about looking at a cat while waiting for a video to be exported or a program to be built?

Ratings and Reviews
Back to being a great app
Previous version was sweet — lots of animations to pick from and they looked great in the menu bar. Version 3.0 comes with only 3 animations and on my iMac running High Sierra with 2 monitors it’s just a white box on a black menu bar. Worthless. Hopefully the developer will address the issue. If you have a previous version, I suggest you don’t update.
UPDATE: I wrote the above review on 1/24 and the developer quicky fixed the issue. And a running human was added. Loving this app again.
Almost purrfect!
This is a great app that lets you know if your Mac is being overloaded, and can show you quick readable stats! I love the animations and the characters, plus the character creator tool.
The only thing holding it from being purrfect is the lack of temperature sensor support, I'd love to see my Mac temperatures. I think it would be a nice additional extension that could add a new animation, maybe making something sweat by higher heats. Or maybe a gradient in the characters as the temperature? I think there is a lot that can be done.
Regardless, its a fun tool and I really like it!
Adorable app
I have never used any of system monitoring app for everyday use. on occation they were useful for a troubleshooting, but for a daily basis? nah. it felt so pointless.

This
App
the in-app purchase buisiness model were also neat. it is totally harmless and I would willingly spend extra bucks.
