## Description

**PixelCat** brings a playful pixel-art pet companion to your Firefox browser. Choose from cats, foxes, frogs, penguins, bats, skeletons, zombies, fairies, Clippy, and more. Feed pets, play fetch, collect coins, complete daily quests, earn achievement badges, and level up to unlock new abilities, companions, hats, skins, toys, and boosts.

PixelCat runs entirely locally in your browser with no external servers, analytics, tracking, or data collection. Your progress, settings, quests, coins, pets, and unlocks are stored using browser storage.
