The Cat Distracter app is designed to entertain and distract your cat, allowing you to focus on your work. Simply launch the app and watch as your cat becomes enthralled with the various sounds and graphics, giving you some much-needed peace and quiet to get stuff done.
When I first wrote Cat Distracter, it only took me two seconds to create. My motivation was my new kitten, Keta, who kept lunging at my Cinema Display every time I tried to use the computer. It became clear that I needed a way to distract her, and so Cat Distracter was born.
What's great about this program is that it can be run on a second monitor. I have two monitors, so I typically run Cat Distracter on my CRT monitor, which is more resistant to cat claws. By doing so, my kitten is lured away from my primary monitor and towards the secondary monitor, giving me some much-needed peace and quiet to actually get some work done.
What's even better is that the source code for Cat Distracter is included. So if you're interested, you can tweak the program to make it work better for your specific needs. Overall, I highly recommend Cat Distracter for any cat owners who want to retain their sanity while working on their computer.
