A frameless, draggable animated cat GIF widget with CPU-based animation speed — built with PyQt5, designed especially for Ubuntu users.
Because who doesn’t love a cute cat on their desktop?
- Python 3.6 or higher
- PyQt5
- psutil
- pillow
- Create and activate a virtual environment (recommended):
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate- Install the required packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
-Simply run the script
python3 runcat_linux.py
Dont forget to add a gif file in root and replace the file name in runcat_linux.py.GIF Gif that i am using.(Make the background transparent)
The animation speed adjusts based on your CPU usage (requires psutil).
If you don’t have psutil or pillow installed, some features may be limited but the widget will still run.
Enjoy your new desktop buddy!
