MochiDesktopCat

How your custom cat is made and delivered

DesktopCat custom cats are prepared and produced by our team. We personalize the appearance from your cat’s photos using the official cat Mochi’s movements and interaction template. Payment does not automatically generate a complete pet.

DesktopCat custom process: send details, team review, email approval, production, and delivery by email and account; using Mochi’s movement template.

  1. 1. Send photos or choose a preview

    After payment, upload one or more cat photos in your account order, or email photos with your order number. If you already like a website concept sheet, select it for email approval.

  2. 2. Our team prepares the approval sheet

    We prepare a three-view sheet from your photos or review your selected version. Website sheets are previews for discussing the appearance, not final approval.

  3. 3. Approve production by email

    We email the specific version for review. Discuss any changes first, then reply with explicit agreement to start. Selecting, saving or paying does not authorize production.

  4. 4. We produce the character pack

    After receiving your explicit email agreement, our team produces the approved version using Mochi’s movements and interactions. New actions and art-style changes are not included.

  5. 5. Email delivery and your account

    We manually upload the finished pack and deliver it by email. It also appears under My custom cats in your website account, where you can download the .desktopcat file and import it into DesktopCat.

Custom cat FAQ

Which official cat’s movements does a custom cat use?

A DesktopCat custom cat uses the official cat Mochi’s movements and interaction template, with an appearance based on your cat’s photos. New actions, redesigned interactions and changes of art style are not included.

Does payment automatically generate a complete desktop pet?

No. The website can generate three-view previews, but our team prepares, produces and checks the complete character. We send an approval sheet by email and wait for your explicit agreement before producing the pack.

Is the website’s three-view sheet the final approved design?

No. Website sheets are previews for discussing the appearance. You can select a version you like in your order; we still email that sheet and require your explicit agreement before starting production.

How do I send original photos? Is one enough?

Yes. After payment, open your custom order in your website account and upload 1–5 photos of the same cat. Clear front, side and marking details are recommended. You can also email one or more photos with your order number. Crop out unrelated people and private details.

Can your team prepare the sheet instead of me generating it?

Yes. Email your original cat photos and order number to custom@desktopcat.com, describing the features you want to preserve. Our team will prepare a three-view sheet and email it for your approval. You do not need to generate a satisfactory preview yourself first.

Must I regenerate a website preview I already like?

No. Select your saved sheet in the corresponding order and submit it for email approval. We review and email that version. Selecting it on the website does not replace email agreement or start production.

When does production start, and when do ordinary refunds end?

Production begins after we receive your explicit email agreement to make the version attached to the approval email. You can request a full refund before that agreement. Ordinary refunds are unavailable after approval and production starts; duplicate charges, failure to deliver and legally required refunds remain covered by the terms.

When and how will I receive the finished cat?

Delivery is due within 72 hours of receiving your explicit production-approval email reply. You receive an importable .desktopcat character pack, not just a concept image. We deliver it by email and also display it for download under My custom cats in your website account.

What appears in my account if I have not ordered a custom cat?

Your account always includes My custom cats. It is empty when you have no active custom order. After purchase, you can view progress and download the finished pack when ready. Free concept previews are not displayed as delivered character packs.

Can I try a free preview first?

Yes. Anonymous visitors get 1 successful preview. Registered accounts get 3 independent previews, or 5 total with an official cat pass. Each paid custom order includes 10 successful generations. Technical failures do not count. These allowances cover concept generation, not unlimited manual revisions.
