The story

Attract cats with food and then watch them romp with your toys! More than 40 varieties of cats—white and black, tabby and calico—might stop by. Rare cats are rumored to roam the neighborhood too, but you'll need particular items to entice those elusive felines. Each visitor is logged in your Catbook. Become a master kitty collector and fill it up!

What it’s like

Soft, flat pastel illustration over a sleepy backyard: a wooden garden strip, a patchwork of tiles, potted plants and cardboard boxes under a bright, even daylight that never turns harsh. Tiny cats wander in and out of frame, rolling, stretching and batting at toys, while the soundtrack is a loose tinkle of lo-fi chimes and the occasional meow, so quiet it blends into the room. Nothing is urgent; the pace is slow and idle, with a satisfying ping whenever a visitor arrives and a catalogue slowly filling in. The vibe is cozy, gently absorbing and warm, with no fear, violence or gore at all. It suits a lazy weekend morning, a comfort session on the sofa, or a few minutes of background play with a cup of tea, and it is made for people who want a calm collecting habit and a bit of feline company without any stakes.
