Fluffy pets
Stroke a fluffy virtual cat until it purrs, or pet a husky until its tail wags and it howls. Real purring and dog sounds. A calming online pet.
How to play
Pick a pet — a cat (ginger, grey tabby or tuxedo) or a husky — and stroke the fur in long, slow movements. The cat closes its eyes and starts to purr, and the purr grows the longer you keep going. The husky squints happily, pants with its tongue out and wags its curled tail faster and faster. Boop the nose for a meow or a proper husky “awoo”. Turn on sound to hear real recorded purring, panting and howls.

- Why does the husky howl?
