Description
DeskPet is a lightweight animated desktop pet app with a growing Pet Store. Choose from cats, dogs, parrots, and other companions, download the pets you love, and switch between them at any time. Every pet has its own personality and exclusive animations. It may walk across windows, rest, sleep, play, climb, look around, or react when the pointer comes near. These natural responses make your pet feel present without getting in the way.
