What is WebNeko?
WebNeko is the home of Neko, a little pixel cat that lives on a web page. Click Neko and it starts a game of chase the mouse, running after your pointer wherever you move it. Click it again and it stops. You can also add more cats at random spots on the screen, or try the Cat Herding game.
The site has dozens of Neko styles to choose from, many drawn by fans, such as Calico, Robot, Rainbow, Ghost, Mermaid and Fire. If you have your own web page that allows scripts, you can paste a short code snippet to put Neko on it, and the site says Neko is free for anyone to use. The page explains that Neko has been passed down through many computer programs over the years.
