A lot of us love cats, and there are countless studies and shared experiences from other cat owners that evoke the benefits of owning one. It's calm, detached and minds its own business. Its energy can come in handy whenever yours is unbalanced. Egyptians revered them as holy creatures, and it is believed that cats stave off negative feelings like stress, depression, and even certain diseases.

Not all cats are the same, and not every feline companionship is enjoyable. Sometimes they can do more harm than good, so it may not be worth the time, effort, money and emotional involvement. It can chew on wires or scratch delicate surfaces like curtains, mattresses, sofas and sheets. Jumping from object to object and playing around, it can create hassle, interfere with your sleep and put your nerves to the test. In the more unfortunate cases they can even cause damage to your equipment and break things around the house, not to mention their temper when they become adults.

A lot of cats have a capricious nature, different tempers and some never accept petting or mutual display of affection. And then there's the grooming and hairs scattered all over the place.

Whichever of the two aforementioned categories you find yourself into, there are plenty of reasons to consider Neko, the cat. It's always playful, eagerly chasing your mouse cursor, and has good manners too. Other activities include saying hi, grooming and sleeping. The latter three are performed after catching that elusive cursor.

Maybe you're going through one of those lonely nights of browsing, studying, and a pet (even a virtual one) might shine some light on your activity and cheer you up.

If you've had enough time playing with Neko, a system restart will make it go away until you want it back again. The application does not require an installation. Instead, you can double click on the “Neko” icon to bring the cat companion on the desktop. It's straightforward to handle and compatible with newer OSes.

Being a cat owner represents a challenge and asks for responsibility, but it's not without benefits. Even so, if you are confined or if a pet is simply not suitable for you, there are other alternatives like Neko that manage to bring at least part of the same feeling and smile.
