I originally saw it as a Mac desktop Init (or whatever the fool things
are called).  I later found a Unix port, called 'xneko' ('neko' being
Japanese for 'cat').  Reading the program's source is entertaining,
since all the comments (and documentation) are in Kanji.

The program is quite simple, though, and works fine everywhere I've
tried it.  One ftp location is expo.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/xneko.tar.Z.
It's probably on Uunet too, though I haven't checked.

Have fun: the kitten is just as disgustingly cute as most real
kittens, and not *nearly* as demanding :-)

   enclosed a copy of his message, describing where to obtain it, as he
   requested that I post a copy here.

	As the anonymous ftp site is in Japan, it would be nice if someone
   could grab the sources and make them available on this side of the
   Pacific (I've grabbed a copy, but I only have outgoing anonymous ftp
   permission -- I can get sources, but I can't make anything available for
   anonymous ftp).

I've loaded it to ~ftp/pub/X/oneko.tar.Z at jyu.fi [128.214.7.5], there is
a ready binary in the package for SPARC/SunOS 4.1, if you dare use it.

I was able to get the code on the second try; to save the networks a lot
of grief, I'll make a compressed tar file of the source and put it
in the anonymous ftp directory for pulsar.princeton.edu.  I also added a man
page (rough one) based on the man page I found with xneko.
(pulsar.princeton.edu is 128.112.128.165)
