Problem Statement
Currently, users can see other participants' cursors as cute paw icons, but their own cursor remains the standard browser cursor. Some users want a more immersive and cohesive cat-themed experience where their own cursor is also displayed as a paw.
Proposed Solution
Add an option to replace the user's own cursor with a paw icon while on the Pawboard canvas. This could be implemented as:
- A toggle in user settings/preferences to enable "Paw cursor mode"
- Automatically apply a custom CSS cursor using a paw image when hovering over the canvas area
- Consider different paw states for different actions (normal, grabbing/dragging, pointing at interactive elements)

All users equally
Alternatives Considered
Not specified - users currently have no workaround other than using browser extensions or OS-level cursor customization, which wouldn't integrate with the Pawboard theme.

How important is this feature to you?
Nice to have
Additional Context
This feature would enhance the cat-themed branding and make the experience more playful and cohesive. It ties in well with the existing paw cursors shown for other users during real-time collaboration. Implementation could use CSS cursor: url('paw.png'), auto; or a custom cursor-following element for more control over animations.
