The cat
The oneko engine animates a cat that walks, runs, scratches, gets tired and sleeps. It all comes from one 256x128 sprite sheet of 32x32 cells.

A skin switcher for the oneko cursor cat.
oneko is the pixel cat that follows your cursor. This is a small switcher
that sits on top of it, so visitors can pick which cat it is. You list your sprites in
a JSON file and add one script. That's the whole thing.

What it does
The switcher
A menu lists every sprite from your JSON file, grouped by category. Click one and the cat changes. Whatever you pick is saved in localStorage for next time.
Config, not code
To add a cat, add a line of JSON: a name, a sprite path, a category. Every skin shows up in the menu straight away. Nothing to unlock.
The kit
The starter kit has the script, a small stylesheet, a sample config and a demo page. If you'd rather, the full cat.js I use is on GitHub too.
Have a look around
Browse the cats
Around a hundred skins, grouped by category. Click any of them to put it on your cursor.
