oneko [-help] [-tora] [-dog] [-bsd_daemon] [-bsd] [-sakura] [-tomoyo] [-time n] [-speed n] [-idle n] [-name name] [-towindow] [-toname name] [-tofocus] [-position geometry] [-rv] [-noshape] [-fg] [-bg]
oneko changes your mouse cursor into a mouse and creates a little cute cat which starts chasing your mouse cursor. If the cat catches up the cursor, it starts sleeping.

If the target window is closed, this program exits.
