"Improving" Felix?

Kreisleriana - 25 Feb 2005 22:52 GMT I remember when some of us downloaded "Felix," the little desktop cartoon cat. He sure is cute, and pretty realistic. I especially like him because he's black and white, and has a jaunty little walk and a smiley face, like Stinky. ;) He watches TV, he enters and leaves the screen by way of a little cat door, he knocks over a bottle of milk and drinks it, knocks over a houseplant, knocks over the Recycling Bin, and rips up the "papers" inside, and "scratches" at the screen. He does other cute things too. They've thought of so many cute, realistic things for him to do that I wonder why they didn't think of having him plop himself down in the middle of the screen, stick one leg straight up in the air, and start cleaning his crotch. ;) Or urk up a little virtual hairball. Or why there is no Felix litterbox. ;)
Maybe those are coming in Felix 2.1 ;)

I lost him, however, when I got my new computer and changed to Linux. Do you have URL? Another one I lost was Viking Kittens rowing a boat and singing the Immigrants' song. MLB

It was good to see the Viking Kittens again. I feel it is my Viking ancestors calling to me. The Felix episode is new to me. I had one where he walked all over the screen and disappeared through the cat door from time to time. Purrs for your brood. MLB

MLB The local classic rock radio station played that song last week and I couldn't get those kittens out of my mind while I listened to it (and of course the song became an ear-worm) :D

Hee hee. I knew an Icelandic lady in graduate school, and her inevitable comment-- if someone complained about cold weather, or if they couldn't stay out as late, or hold their liquor as well as she-- was always, "You're yust not a Wiking, are you?" ;)

She ordered a personalized license plate for her car. It read "WODKA". MLB
CatNipped - 26 Feb 2005 01:45 GMT Help!!! I can't find the actual "Felix" download. It keeps telling me to click a button ("new user", "registered user", or "send to a friend"). I've registered and then logged in but still can't find the download - the page just takes me back to the page with the three buttons.
I've downloaded all the accessories, but when I run them they just say "successfully installed" and then the .exe file disappears and I can't find where they were installed!
Hugs,

My DH says it's a fairly large Flash (.swf) file, not an .exe .

But the one I have at work (somebody posted a link to the .exe file itself) isn't a Flash file. Little Felix runs around in the background and does all this cute stuff. I have the .exe in my startup directory so Felix is the first thing that runs nad I leave him running all day. I guess I could send myself that .exe file, but I was hoping to get the updated version.
