IIRC it's trivial.  the cat ['neko' and the 'o' honorific
has to be a joke:  "it's better than a cat"] is cleverly
constructed out of 8-16? bitmaps.  so all you gotta do is take
the bitmaps and write a bit of code to blit them at the right
time.

on plan 9 this should be trivial (read 'hello world').  on
X11 oneko is a huge chunk of code, just to do a few bit blits.

btw: it's better than a cat = it's better than nothing.
