Less like an animation. More like a pet.
Most animated widgets repeat one trick forever, or stare at your mouse. PetMySite pets have instincts instead. They notice what's happening on your page, get curious, get bored, and take the odd nap. Visitors can tell something is really there.
Try it now: click somewhere empty, highlight a sentence, or move your mouse close to Orbi.
What goes on in its little head.
- Notice
It sees what's going on.
A click on your page, a quick scroll, a highlighted sentence, a mouse wandering close. Your pet picks up on all of it, the way a cat hears the treat drawer open. It notices where things happen, never what anyone types or reads.
- Wonder
It decides if it's worth a look.
Real pets don't jump at everything, and neither does yours. Its mood, its personality and how new something is all shape what it does next, so the same moment rarely gets the same reaction twice.
- React
It answers in its own way.
Usually a quick glance. Sometimes a head tilt, a wave or a startled hop. And when something really catches its eye, a little adventure out of its corner and back.
- Rest
Then it settles back down.
After a moment in the spotlight it catches its breath. When your page stays quiet, it grows sleepy and dozes off, then wakes up happily when your visitor comes back.
It saves its best moments.
A pet that shows off nonstop is tiring to watch. Yours keeps it small most of the time, so its big moments feel like a treat.
A glance
All the time
Its eyes dart toward what happened, linger for a moment, then drift back.
An expression
Now and then
A curious tilt, a wave, a slow blink or a surprised little jump, right where it sits.
A little adventure
Once in a while
A peek or a happy hop out of its corner, and always home again within about two pet-sizes.
It gets bored, just like you.
The first click on your page is fascinating. The fifth in a row? Old news. Give it a minute and it's curious all over again. That's what makes it feel like a living thing, not a machine.
This demo is sped up. On your site, your pet's curiosity comes back over about a minute.
Click the pad to get Orbi's attention.
A little mood, all its own.
Four feelings rise and fall as someone browses, and they shape everything your pet does. Every page starts with a fresh mood, and it never remembers who your visitors are.
- Energy
- Grows when visitors play and move around. When it runs low, your pet gets sleepy and saves its big moves for later.
- Excitement
- Jumps when something happens and calms within seconds. An excited pet reacts faster and bigger.
- Affection
- Grows every time someone pets it. A pet that feels loved greets people warmly and might even throw a little celebration.
- Boredom
- Creeps in when nothing happens. A bored pet peeks around, checks out your page, and eventually nods off.
One setting sets the pace.
Some sites want a quiet companion, others a lively one. Choose Calm, Playful or Lively to set how often your pet moves and how boldly it reacts. Its personality stays exactly the same.
Playful. A friendly balance of play and rest.
- A little something every 8 seconds or so
- Now and then pops out of its corner for a closer look
- Dozes after about 45 seconds of quiet
- Invites visitors to play up to 2 times per page
In a quiet minute a playful pet shows about 7 small moments, with at most 4 bigger moves.
Change it any time in your site's Customize tab. The Piko above is living by whichever setting you pick.
Curious, but never nosy.
- Looks away from passwords. When someone types a password, your pet politely looks the other way.
- Stays quiet while people type. It keeps them company without stealing the show.
- Never snoops. It never collects what people type, what they read or who they are.
