Sadly they only appear in the right/left hand side, not the editor :( I want a cat that reacts to my code, ideally getting mad at me for writing poor quality code, and stretching/sleeping when I'm thinking.

I got "power mode" (or something similar) installed in Intellij/Jetbrains IDE. The faster I write or bigger change I make the more sparkles and flames etc grow around the cursor. Similar plug-ins exist for other editors as well. A bit fun to enable before pairing with a coworker to see their reaction.
Google Colab has this setting, too
Triggering an animation based on what's under the cursor sounds interesting. Like moving to a loop declaration starts a chase-your-tail animation. Or moving to a function signature gives the pet some paint and paper.
Yes nice, a dog could express its opinion by peeing on the lines of code
A cat that spins around in circles if it detects a function results in an infinite loop?

Yes, because cats have solved the halting problem, and whether P=NP. They're just not telling us.

This... this needs to happen!
It could enforce 80 char line width limits by batting stray characters “of the ledge” to watch them fall
Make it chase the text cursor and get confused by multi-cursor
Atom could have them in the editor. But one of the wins for VS Code was better security isolation for plugins.
Maybe Microsoft could bring back the Bob team to integrate pets with all facets of VS Code.
