A desktop pet with a job

Most desktop pets are just for fun. Pati (a cat) and Hav (a dog) are fun too, but they also make sure you get up from your desk now and then.

What makes Pati and Hav different

Classic desktop pets wander around your screen and keep you company. Pati and Hav do that in live desktop mode, living on your desktop behind your windows all day. And when you've worked too long, they come to the front, lie on your keyboard and won't move until you take a break.

  • Over 100 cats in Pati, over 100 dogs in Hav. Three of each are free, guests visit on special days, and optional packs add the rest, each with its own scene.
  • Play with them. Your cursor becomes a laser for Pati or a ball for Hav. Pet them for hearts.
  • Name them. Give your pet a name and send a postcard of your day's breaks.
  • Polite at work. They wait during calls and presentations, and peek in 60 seconds before a break.

Cat or dog?

Pati is for cat people: a laser to chase and a cat that purrs when you pet it. Hav is for dog people: a ball, a bone or a frisbee to fetch and belly rubs. Both work on Mac and Windows.

Questions

Is it a real desktop pet?

Yes. In live desktop mode your pet lives on the desktop behind your windows all day. When it's break time, it comes to the front.

Does it slow down my computer?

It's designed to be light. On battery power, your live desktop pet plays in shorter bursts and naps longer to save energy.

Is it free?

Yes, to start: three pets and the special-day guests are free. Extra pets come in optional one-time packs.
