A tiny story · Extremely canon

THE
ARCADE
CAT

It doesn’t work here. It just lives here — black pixels, orange eyes, professional napper.

Read the story

“I came for the windowsill. I stayed because the floor is warm and someone keeps almost giving me the cursor.”

— the cat, probably

Once upon
a pixel

Five soft scenes. No résumé. Only vibes.

Scene Imrrp?

How it arrived

One night a little black cat slipped out of an old arcade cabinet, shook the dust off its ears, and decided the bottom of this website looked like a perfectly good windowsill. It never asked permission. Cats rarely do.

Scene IInyaa

A day in the life

Morning is for walking. Midday is for sitting like a loaf and judging strangers. Afternoons are for sudden zooms left to right for no reason. Evenings are for the long stretch, a washed paw, and a nap so serious it needs a tiny Z.

Scene III

The meow treaty

It will not talk unprompted. That would be needy. But if you hover, or give it a gentle tap, it meows once — like a secret handshake. Orange eyes. Soft protest. Then back to the important business of existing.

Scene IVpurr

Favorite things

Warm paper-colored floors. The feeling of almost catching a cursor. Being noticed, then pretending it doesn’t care. Being ignored, then walking past you again just to check. And Udaipur sun, somehow, even through a screen.

Scene V!!

Why it stays

Because every serious place needs one silly guardian. This cat doesn’t sell anything. It doesn’t explain a résumé. It just keeps you company while you scroll — a little black shadow with a big opinion about naps. If you made it here, it already likes you.

House rules

How to be
a good guest

  • 01 Look down. That’s not a bug — that’s staff.
  • 02 Hover softly. Tap once. Celebrate the meow.
  • 03 Double-click the cat to return to this page.
  • 04 Do not offer it pineapple on pizza. It has standards.

The end?

Not really.
It’s still down there.

Go say hi. Then wander home whenever the nap energy runs out.
