Happy Cat Timer

This happy cat timer pairs a countdown with an animated lounging cat for people timing a lighthearted activity, break, or wait. The animation loops gently to keep the mood light. The illustration uses a fixed hand-drawn palette, so it looks its best on the page's own dark background.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose a countdown length

    Set a duration for a short break, activity, or waiting period. The lounging cat and floating hearts remain above the timer digits as the countdown runs.

    Start the timer

    Press Start and place the page on the screen people are using. Use fullscreen when the timer should be visible across a room; the illustration palette itself is fixed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change the colors of the cat?

No — the illustration uses a fixed hand-drawn palette so it always looks consistent. You can still change the timer digit color in settings to keep the numbers readable against the scene.

Does the animation distract from the timer?

It is intentionally slow and sits above the digits, so the countdown stays the clear focal point.

Does it respect reduced-motion settings?

If your device requests reduced motion, EasyTimer.app pauses the animation and shows a still frame, so the cat no longer moves.

Why is this on its own page instead of in the background settings?

The animation uses a separate animation library (Lottie) that we keep off the homepage for fast load times. Its own route means visitors who do not want it never download it.
