Research direction

Start by searching the TypeScript codebase for the existing dog pet entry to locate the config or component where pet options are registered. Add the cat as a new pet following the same structure as the dog, including any required assets or selection labels. Then run the office to verify the new cat option appears in the pet selection menu and functions correctly.

Description

Context:

Currently, the 3D office features a really fun and cozy interactive element: a roaming dog that users can pet. While the dog is a great companion, there is currently no way to change the type of pet in the environment.

Proposed Solution:

It would be awesome to add a configuration option (e.g., in the setup UI) allowing users to choose between a Dog or a Cat as their office pet.
Ideally, the cat would share the same mechanics as the dog: freely roaming around the desk islands and allowing users to interact with it (pet).

Why it matters:

Adding a cat would bring even more personalization to the virtual workspace. "Cat persons" working on their AI projects would definitely appreciate having a feline companion walking around their office!
