Virtual Pet widget for Windows
A small friend that lives on your dashboard. Choose a cat, dog, rabbit, fox, panda or dragon and give it a name. Its food, fun and energy drain in real time, even while the app is closed, so it is hungry when you come back after a weekend. Feed it, play with it, and put it to bed to get its energy back; its face and mood tell you what it needs. Set how fast it gets needy, from relaxed to demanding.
