NekoCat is a little cat that sits on your Palm and chases the food (bird, mouse or fish) that you tick on the screen until he catches it. This so cute little cat then goes through a series of absolutely adorable activities, such as cleaning himself and taking a nap.

NekoCat Source Code

I have ported NekoCat in different languages and development tools, that was a very good exercise for me in all these tools. NekoCat is even a sample software for all these tools. So, the NekoCat source code is open and free.
