Windows Desktop Icons
I have converted some of the Maneki Neko and Sushi adoptions to .ico files, which enables them as desktop icons. They come in a .zip file so you will need Winzip or another decompression utility to open them. For instructions on unzipping and installing icons see this site for some helpful general info. Please do not redistribute these icons. Just click the image to download.
