Meowcast: Weather Cat Widget

Meowcast is a weather app with a tiny pixel cat whose mood follows the weather where you are. One look at your cat tells you what the sky is doing today.
It purrs when it's sunny, sulks in the rain and trembles when thunder rolls in.

■ Your forecast at a glance
• Current weather and temperature
• The next 8 three-hour slots, running into tomorrow
• This week's forecast, with red flags on days your cat can't handle yet
• Air quality: PM2.5 and PM10
• Your cat sends you a notification before it rains or when the air gets bad

■ A cat that feels the weather
Happy purrs on clear days. A hiss if you touch it in the rain. It melts into a puddle in a heatwave and shivers with its fur on end when it's cold.
On dusty days it covers its nose and sneezes, and at night it sleeps curled up like a loaf of bread.
A quick pet and a long pet get you different reactions.

■ Dress up and decorate with fish
Raincoats, scarves, trench coats, a straw hat, a face mask.
Set up places too: a beach parasol, a cozy hotel blanket, a maple tree and more.
The right item keeps your cat safe from the weather.
If bad weather keeps getting through, its energy drains, and at zero it turns into a ghost and loses everything it owns, so plan ahead.

■ Choose your cat
Start with Cheese, Shadow or Patches. Save up fish to adopt White, Cream and Bluebell.
Or pick the colors, pattern, name and background yourself to make a one-of-a-kind cat of your own (in-app purchase).

■ Nap time: put your phone down, earn fish
Choose 10, 25, 45 or 60 minutes and tuck your cat in.
Stay out of the app until the time is up, and your cat wakes up with fish for you.
Your screen can be off. Use it as a focus timer for study or work, or as a little digital detox.

■ Home Screen, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep your cat and the weather in view.
With Live Activities, your cat shows up in the Dynamic Island too.
