Dear furry and/or furry art aligned people: I am looking someone who could make a animated icon in the style (or not? I like simple but happy to be wrong) to this running cat that I currently use to show that a query is "running" (get it?) Ideally I'd like a couple, since there are many moments in bgp.tools's UX where I am not the thing that is running, more I am waiting for other things to happen. It would be nice to have animations for such events. Happy to pay industry rates or w/e, after all bgp.tools is a commercial product. But I have no idea where to start or look for such things (boosts for reach appreciated, since I don't think I have many artists as followers)

if you pay an animator to do this, please add the following as an occasional easter egg: there is a small mouse that the cat is chasing, and when results arrive, the cat grabs it and walks off the screen

@benjojo reminds me of the IBM AIX SMIT graphical sysadmin tool, which had an animation of a jogger while running a command … unusual display of personality for IBM annoyingly hard to searchengineer pictures of it but here’s a fun description https://www.carlucci.net/smit/
