Thanks.
I downloaded the applet; but couldn't get it to run properly on my PC (Windows 7 , 32-bit). I'll give it another try later.

Guess what...
New version (MyFelix version 2.1.2 ) is available over here:

https://www.catslikefelix.co.uk/fun-freebies/my-felix/Pages/default.aspx

(tested on XP and 7- 64bit)

Be sure to uninstall the older version first... and untick "updates on" in the settings menu.

Revive the little rascal either by double-clicking or right-clicking the icon and make sure 'show Felix' is ticked.Well,that's how it should work ...
:)

I put it on my wife's computer but all it does is put an icon in the tray. what am I missing?

Thanks, Robert, just downloaded and installed it now - very cute!

Almost forgotten all about this thread....

Anyway, the new version of MyFelix ,esp.for Vista users who had problems running it ,is available at:

http://www.catslikefelix.co.uk/myfelix/

(although their page says it's version 1.08... you'll get the new version 1.09)

Delilah, I've got everything on cable, phones, internet, and TV and am glad I do. Even if the power goes out, I've still got the cable voice mail to get all my messages. I did get a back up battery for the phone modem in case the power does go out so I can still make calls if needed.

MyFelix is now purring, too. Thanks, Robert. (I wasn't holding down the mouse button; just being consistent with some of his other tricks.) And it's a good thing, too, as I've just spent 12 days without phone or Internet service! (Don't ask; rumors abound; one whole square mile of businesses and residences in my area were affected. Except those with cable phone and Internet, so I'm finally making the switch.)

So I had Felix, and all my downloaded games, to keep me occupied. And I now know the answer to the question "what would I miss most if I didn't have Internet service?" Access to my public library database, where I'm always reserving and renewing and requesting books. And of course these forums.

Anyway, it's good to be back, but I have my fingers crossed: I'm not sure everything is fixed, and then there's the DSL-to-cable transition still to go...

Just got word that they're working on a new version of MyFelix and that they're currently testing a beta.
Apparently the problem only affected some Vista SP2 users.
So stay tuned...I will try to post back when the new version is available.
:)

I also had some flash related problems in the past.
The best way to solve them IMHO is using the Flash uninstaller from Adobe...and reinstall Flash Player after rebooting.

..or you could just wait until the MyFelix devs are addressing the issue with MyFelix.
( I even submitted a request for help at their website.(LOL)

Tried installing flash player internet explorer and I get a new message

IMO flash related stuff are tricky. If it works, there is nothing better and if it doesn't play there's mostly nothing to be done about it. I have healthy fear of using flash videos in powerpoint presentations. When the presentation has been going well and its time for the flash video to hammer home the point, the thing will just get stuck.

Installing Adobe's flash player for IE might solve the problem (even if you don't use IE).
Firefox users usually only get to install the FF Flash Player plugin when consulting Adobe's download page.

Works for me.. only thing is it stops my power saver.. have that set to shut down monitor after a certain number of minutes.

Well..at least over here..it runs smoothly on XPPro SP3-Vista Home SP1 an 7Home.LOL.
Didn't try it on XPHome,yet.And 7Pro is a bit too expensive for me right now,so I am not running out to the shops to buy it...

OK.. you've all talked me into downloading it.. finally got it to save... now to see if it works for me, XP SP2

Yeah I have the same problem as prs. Even starting it in compatibility mode and as an administrator does nothing. Hopefully they fix it soon!

MyFelix should run just fine on XP,Vista or seven.

Then again I stumbled upon this message from the MyFelixDev Team (dated 06/24/2010)

We are aware that some users have recently experienced some technical issues with My FELIX. We are looking into these as a matter of urgency and will be sure to let you know as soon as the problem has been rectified.

I'm sure they're looking into the matter right now and will be fixing this asap.
:)
So,in the meanwhile, stay tuned...

Hi copmom, my daughter still plays Catz, and Dogz, they are now into their 5th incarnation and are still available from good games stores. We also have Babyz but that only plays on Win 98 and earlier.

Check earlier versions of these game by clicking on them Catz, Dogz and Horsz

Unfortunately I am not able to play this after installation. Once installed I get

When I shut down I am told to install flash 6 or later.

I have visited the macromedia site (now Adobe) and installed the flashplayer from there. That doesnt help. I never had a problem playing flash in my browser. Any help will be great

Well..you see,first you have to spoil him little ,let him chase lots of butterflies,make him play with tiny toy cars,let him chase your mouse pointer and feed him lots of Felix ...in short make him feel at home...
Um..and if that doesn't help ,choose 'StrokeMyFelix',read the instructions,press OK and caress his back or his white belly.
:)

Hee, hee! My games are meowing at me! (Yes, I found where to turn the sound off, just don't wanna yet.)

Robert, do tell: how do you get him to purr? MY Felix only meows :-)

@Inas: I found a few versions on EBay when I started thinking of this. I quickly put a bid in on them hoping to get one....I won both LOL. Then it occurred to me that I never checked to see if it would work on newer systems. Somehow in my mind I just though it was a screen saver so why wouldn't it work. Oh, well I am sure someone somewhere will come up with something and I will hopefully find it! Lol BTW I always love the 'Bad Dog' one. When the screen saver kicked in it was a copy of your screen. A dog would chew up your folders, use the bathroom on them, and mess up your screen.. OH and bark at you. Then when you moved the mouse it would be fine. People that didn't know about it at the time would jump to the conclusion that their screen was really going to be messed up.

Printer2, glad you got it to work..you are welcome!
:)

Hi Inas!
You're welcome!
I have hime running around when I have my browser open, even!
You can have him to be, "always on top"....he is USUALLY snoozing away in his little bed in the corner though..lol!
:)

You are welcome Robert!
Yes I love when he chases the butterflies(and knocks over the pot..lol!)
:)

goodgotd, you are welcome!
I know I was sure tickled to see him...
:)

It looks like what you download is the same as what you run. It appears that the only "install" is to copy it to Program Files and then create 2 shortcuts. I had to run it in admin mode on my vista32 machine to get it to install. It's cute.

If I fed my cat as often ast this guy does, I would REALLY have a fat cat!

ibwebb, you've brought back beautiful, wonderful memories of yesteryear - yes, indeed, I used to always have the After Dark screensavers on my computers...loved them a lot.

Alianthia, Thank you also for sharing this cute little guy.
