A charming cat clock that tells time and feels the weather. This is a simple clock app that shows the current time and the weather at your location — but with a twist. The weather forecast comes from a cat, so please don’t rely on it too much. When rain might be coming, the cat may start washing its face. On sunny days, the cat relaxes and looks happy. Instead of numbers and charts, you can sense today’s weather through the cat’s little behaviors. Inspired by the old saying, “When a cat washes its face, it may rain.” This app is not about accuracy. It’s about enjoying time and weather in a gentle, playful way — together with a cat.
