There was a few programs like this. The earliest one I recall was Neko https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neko_(software)

But I think there were sheep, dancing babies (ugh!!), something like Bonzi Buddy rings a bell (I once had to clean something named that off a colleague’s workstation when he reported it thinking it was malware).

There was also toys like this on Linux and Unix too. Most famously xeyes.

I miss the playful era when things like this and novelty screensavers were “cool”.
