  Boris will do the mentioned things (lie down, purr, etc..) even if the
butterfly in on.  Sometimes the butterfly will disappear for a spell, so
Boris will stop walking and preform a new action where he is.  You know, cats
get bored very quickly.
  My favorite action is when he stops next to the edge of the screen.  He'll
purr for a bit, then, if you're not watching the screen, Boris will sharpen
his claws on the edge of the screen.  I swear, I sit and watch that damn cat
and he won't do it, but as soon as I turn my back, just like a real cat, he'll
go and sharpen his claws.  Now this is good software!  :)

  Oh, and one other thing : all the girls in the apartment building think that
Boris is just the cutest thing.  I never thought I`d meet women by using a
screen saver, but, oh well, it works!  :)
