macthecat v1.2

what's new

• animal themes — cat, dog, or bird. each with their own sprites, sounds, avatars, and mood emojis
• real animal sounds — dogs bark (actual bark samples with pitch variations), birds do crow calls. no more meowing dogs
• buddy color tinting — buddy now changes color based on your frontmost app for all themes, not just cat
• focus timer — set a 5-60 min timer from the menu, pet stays focused with a countdown above them
• fancy DMG installer — branded drag-to-Applications with a mid-leap cat
• menu cleanup — "Buddy Cat" → "Buddy" since it's not always a cat anymore
