Cats & Dogs

And if you were searching for the cat & dogs running around at the top of your notebook, then you can add them by following these steps:

• Open any Colab notebook.
• Click on Tools -> setting -> Miscellaneous
• And check Corgi mode if you want just dogs or Kitty mode if you want just cats or both if you're a human being:

And you'll have them running around all-day long
