Alt-Cat

I decided I was tired of alt-tabbing while trying to write... so I spent two hours writing a program to stop that. Efficiency! It registered when you control-T or alt-tab, and instead pops up a message box with an inspiration/berating quote.

Then I realized I could do this with kittens and dog gifs instead, and wrote the best six lines of code ever.

If you want to use the code, feel free. I used AutoHotkey, which is a pretty simple coding language. We used it in QA for setting up console command macros, auto-clickers, etc. It's simple enough that even a liberal arts major like me, with only one semester of C++, could use it.
