Maukie

We receive a lot of questions about Maukie. We like to give you all the answers here.

First off we need to tell you, WE DID NOT CREATE MAUKIE!
We don't know who did, that brings us to the first question.
Recently we received an e-mail from a Maukie fan who thought Maukie might be coming from this site:
It could be, considering the medaillon Maukie is wearing looks exactly the same as their logo.

Q: Can I use Maukie on my own website?
A: Yes you can, we did too! But remember you can't ask anyone for permission, because it's unknown who the creator of Maukie is. So if one day the owner walks in, and claims the copyright on the cat, it's possible you'll have to take it down.

Q: Why can my friend see Maukie on her computer, and I can't? We both use PC's with Internet Explorer.
A: It's very likely that your friend installed the Macromedia Flash player on her computer and you haven't. You can download it here for free.

Q: I have installed the Macromedia Flash player, I still can't see Maukie. I am using a Mac and/or a browser different from Internet Explorer.
A: This is because the file is being served as text/plain, when it should be served as application/x-shockwave-flash. (We didn't know this at first; thanks to the kind people who informed us of this.) However, we can't personally change the settings of our site so that SWF files are automatically recognized as ShockwaveFlash. The only thing we can do is put the flash file on a webpage, and have this webpage tell your computer that it is a Flash file. So try viewing the Maukie desktop pages instead of the actual maukie.swf file, and see if that helps.

Q: I would like to save Maukie to my own files. How can I do that?
A: Here is a link to Maukie. Instead of clicking it to open the page to see Maukie, right-click on the word "Here" and choose 'save target as'. Save it to your files.

Q: How do I get Maukie on my desktop?
A: We have made a special page for you. It can be found here.

Q: I am so fond of Maukie. Do you have any more art like Maukie?
A: We are sorry to say, but no we haven't. Of course you can search Google for more.

We do have the Maukie Fanlisting for you. You can join here.

IMPORTANT NOTE!
Most people seem to have Maukie as wallpaper on their computer.
This means every time when they start up their computer they make a hit to the
Maukie site (they just link to Maukie!).
It would be great if everyone would place Maukie on the desktop without linking.
If you want to know how to do that please read here.
