You can adopt as many cats as you can afford to buy collars for! However, the total number of cats present at any given time is limited. It’s based on how many toys you have, but has diminishing returns until it hard caps at 21 kitties present (though it’s not easy to get that many at once!)
17/06 Kitties: 17 (Two rares) Toys: 110 (36 plush cats, 36 toy fishes, 11 scratch posts, 7 cat grass, 1 couch) Kittycoins: 63 Plans: Get tiles and/or stone to put all my toys in
18/06 Kitties: 18 (Two rares) Toys: 146 (36 plush cats, 36 toy fishes, 36 balls, 11 scratch posts, 7 cat grass, 1 couch) Kittycoins: 5 Plans: Still want the stones, but now I'm even farther from doing that than before, I got too excited buying my colorful balls
As someone who wants to learn how to code, I’ve been having a lot of fun looking at my save data and trying to understand how it works!
Quick question, what do the variables that end in “_added” do? I can never get them to be false. For example, even if I start a new save file and close the gate before any kitties ever enter, kitties_added will still be set to true. It’s starting to make me curious!!!
Awe, it’s awesome that you’re curious ^^ the _added are set to true as soon as it adds the data for that category to the save file. So the first time it saves kitties (which is one second after you start the game actually), it sets kitties_added to true. Even if the kitty data is just an empty array!
The reason for those variables is so that the load functions know whether or not they’re reading data loaded from a save file, or data that was just initialized (and set to default values).
The line “if _new_kitties != [] or data.kitties_added == true:” is saying “If the list is not empty, OR the list is empty but the data is from a save file, then go on to delete all the kitties in the map currently (to load the ones from the data in their place).
It technically isn’t necessary for kitties anymore, but for bowls and toys, it’s very important. Without the bowls_added variable etc, there’s no way to know whether it’s trying to load a save file that simply has no data for bowls/toys (because you sold them then saved the game), or if it’s a fresh save file. So you could sell the starting items, reload the save, and it would spawn new ones (or rather, not delete the ones that exist at the start).
Hopefully this is a helpful explanation :3 I’m happy to answer any other questions you may be curious about, and if you want to really get into game development with Godot, feel free to add me on Discord or whatever to chat! I’d love to help you out however I can
i have played a little of the game on my yt to show it off because i really love what has been done here!
i love the simple idle approach and adore the names some of them have, id love something like this with twitch integration so chat can take care of the cats while the streamer is afk, that would be superbly cute.
One plushie for each color opition on the game. There are 36 colors, and the plushies are sold for 20 kittycoins each, therefore I have spent 720 kittycoins on plushies. I could be rich right now, but I choose to suffer with lag
Please add a big bag of cat food, it takes me around 5-7 minutes to fill all of my auto feeders every time they run out, adding a bag that fills atleast 2 or 3 would really be appreciated :)
Just a bug to let you know, in the mac build you cant throw the balls, they just stick to your cursor and dont launch, it actually sometimes throws it, its just not constant
Can you add a way of pausing only the cats, or like, hiding them or smth? It's hard to redecorate stuff (mainly the food area) when there are 14 cats going around and getting stuck on stuff, getting in the place I'm gonna place smth in, following around the food bows, and generally being a huge bother
Keep your placeables either atleast 4 units away from the wall or right up against it ^^
also put like 2 units atleast of space between items like bowls or right next to each other so the cats dont try to run through them and become a tornado :3
Quite a bit of time of gameplay but definitely worth it :3(most of the time was putting stuff in the right spots on the second carpet) Game is Amazing, I love it so much, amazing graphics, and I love all the features. I was addicted from the get-go :3
I saw on one of the comments that suggested an autofeeder that you would limit them to three bags so people can't leave their game off overnight and come back to a gazillion coins, and I have a suggestion to prevent it. You could 1. make coins despawn if not picked up for a certain amount of time (around a minute or two i'd say), and/or 2. Make an "are you still playing" popup where it pauses the game every 15-30 minutes or something like that, and the resume button could be in a random spot on the screen (to prevent a macro auto clicking the resume button). :3
Could you possibly make it a little bit easier to pet the kitties? It's quite difficult to get a pet in before they run off and most of the time I can't get a pet in at all. Thanks! :3
Yes, in the next version I’ve made it easier to pet them, and also much more obvious when you are doing it right ^^ It should be released within a day or two!
How many cat colors are there? I think I wanna get one of which color so I need to have an idea of how many I'll need For now that's all the kitties I have, there are two reds but they have different colors (one is red and the other looks more pink) so i decided to get both
There are 12 named fur types (plus striped variants of most of them), but as for different colors? Practically infinite!
Pastel and Colorful kitties can be any color (though their fur label doesn’t specify), but every fur color is randomized within a set range, so no two kitties have the exact same fur color.
I won’t spoil the exact magic but it uses a function with diminishing returns. So at first, 1 toy = 1 cat, but once you get more than a few toys, you start needing more and more toys to increase the limit by 1.
This game is amazing, and there's great attention to detail, I do have some suggestions to make this game more playable
Pianos to go on the floor, since cats love those
a laser pointer
cat trees
little hideaway tunnels for the cats to play in
pillow forts
pillows
curtains to scratch
One thing I have noticed is that the automatic water feeder doesn't run dry like the feeder does. IDK if that was intentional or not
I AM ADDICTED TO THIS GAME, and I tend to play it when I'm having panic attacks, in other words, I play it often. I have panic disorder and those feelings are a daily recurrence and your game is so adorable it cheers me up. This game should have a lot more support for the level of its content. I had my brother look at it, and he's a software engineer with a degree in videogame design and said it's pretty much at a professional level. I hope that this game continues to grow as it is because it truly is a wonderful game! Some of my favorite features include how you can feed them tuna and they all come running toward it, and the goofy names. (I have a cat named Nuts and its status is sus.)
Thank you so much for the kind words and for all the great suggestions!! I’ll probably eventually add most or all of those ideas to the game ^^
The auto-water is meant to be infinite since water is free anyway (and gets a lil tedious to refill), where on the other hand, food is required to attract kitties so I don’t want people to be able to completely idle the game :3
I’m really happy to hear how this game helps you! That alone makes it worth all the work, knowing that it genuinely makes someone’s life better ^^
I love the game, its beautiful and i like how you can actually put stuff in boxes, i kinda want the shop to be a separate place that you can go, i just think it'll look cool, cant wait for the next update :)
Thank you ^^ That’s a neat idea, and I might some day add a physical shop you can visit for special unique items, but I think it would change the game a bit too much if you had to go to the store to stock up on food constantly, hehe
Awe, your place looks great ^^ The next version is well underway and will be ready very soon! (Unless I keep getting carried away adding new features like I have been for the past few days…)
I’m not sure how that could work, with how the shop functions right now.. but I have a shop rework on my to-do list, and I’ll definitely consider figuring out how buying in bulk could work when I do that! Thank you for the suggestion ^^
i think maybe when we pet the cats it should show up a heart so we're 100% sure we pet them ! i just found out i could pet them at all and would LOVE if a little heart popped up !
There’s not a way to rename kitties right now, but it’s something I’ve thought about.. but if I do end up adding it, it’ll be pretty expensive! A big part of the fun is discovering the silly randomly generated kitty names as they arrive ^^
This game is my go-to when I scare myself into tears after playing a horror game. I play it when I'm stressed or mad, too, I play this so much every time I open my computer my brother asks, "Playing the kitty game?" umm ofcc?! I wonder and/or if what your plans are for a update? Id love to see more toys and furniture. Even an indoor would be amazing, pay around like 150 or 200 coins for the expansion to go inside. Just a thought!! Love this game so much!!! P.S LOOK AT THESE KITTIESS<333
Awe, it’s lovely that you’re enjoying the game that much <3
You’ll be happy to hear, for the next update I’m aiming to add a bunch of new decorations and stuff to buy!
Also, expansions are already in the game! If you buy the Exp. Permit from the shop, you can expand your playable area to the left or right, but to the left just extends the area you have (no different rooms or anything yet, just space)
If you have any specific toys or furniture you want to see in the update, let me know and I’ll definitely consider it ^^
I have a few recommendations; Slow feeders to put the canned kitty food in! but get worn out after awhile and need to be tossed/sold lowering the selling price for them but still get some coins. Scratchers for the walls that the kitties can crawl up. Bookshelves that can jump on that have toys all around it (but you have to buy the toys for it.) A bone fish toy that's like the fish toy already added but its just the skele version of it. CATNIP :D Make it pretty expensive, you could sprinkle it on the carpets and in the grass you buy. A really old box TV with antennas the kitties can mess with which ultimately make the channel change, the kitties can watch like flies or cartoons on it!! Kitty pools >:) Certain cats that like the water could jump around in the water, like the rare blue kitties and such! Anyway, theresa few other toys but that's just my thoughts! <3
Lovely game! really enjoying it and look forward to any potential updates. noticed that while yarn costs 10 coin, you can then sell the yarn back for 15 coin. (tested all other buyables aside from the most expensive category (exp. permit-sofa) and yarn is the only one that has a different buy/sell price !)
I love this game so much, it's very addictive! literally 10 minutes ago i was like "i wish this supported landscape mode for Android" then when i went to check this page and it said "now supports landscape mode on Android!" and i'm like: 🤯
I did notice a glitch where one of my cats bugged out for a bit because they were trying to chase a cat that was leaving XD
The cats can be a bit dopey sometimes, but.. honestly that’s kinda how real cats are! haha
I can add hairless cats, but I feel like just a color type wouldn’t really convey their vibe very well and I’d have to make a whole new set of sprites and animations for them which is quite a bit more work, but it’s something I’d like to do eventually!
OMG!! exciting!! i've saved up a lot of kittycoins. i AM READY for new decos~ and thanks a lot for your hard work for creating such a simple yet super fun game!
I LOVE this game, it is extremely relaxing to spend time watching the kittens and playing with them <3 I definitely recommend this game and I will talk about it in a short! Pls we need more about this game <3 Keep the dev! <3
(Edit: I’m sorry! I looked at the math and there actually is a hard cap of 21) It’s based on how many toys and scratch-able things (posts, cat grass, sofas) you have, but there are diminishing returns.
But you’re right! Expanding your area should definitely permanently boost the limit, I’ll add that in the next version ^^
You already can ^^ Hover your mouse over their head (don’t click) and move it left and right.
On android, it’s a little un-intuitive at the moment; touch and hold above their head (don’t pick them up), then slide your finger down over them, and drag left and right quickly all without lifting your finger (it will move the screen too, but it will pet them!)

you should add catfights to make it more interesting and you have to pick the cats up to resolve the fight
Awwe, that would be sad to see! but I might be able to implement it in a cute, harmless way… Thank you for the idea ^^ I’ll think more about it!
WOOHOO KITTY BRAWLING
This game is incredible, I am ADDICTED :)
is there a limit to how many cats I can adopt?
You can adopt as many cats as you can afford to buy collars for! However, the total number of cats present at any given time is limited. It’s based on how many toys you have, but has diminishing returns until it hard caps at 21 kitties present (though it’s not easy to get that many at once!)
Decided to start keeping track of my evolution :)
17/06
Kitties: 17 (Two rares)
Toys: 110 (36 plush cats, 36 toy fishes, 11 scratch posts, 7 cat grass, 1 couch)
Kittycoins: 63
Plans: Get tiles and/or stone to put all my toys in
18/06
Kitties: 18 (Two rares)
Toys: 146 (36 plush cats, 36 toy fishes, 36 balls, 11 scratch posts, 7 cat grass, 1 couch)
Kittycoins: 5
Plans: Still want the stones, but now I'm even farther from doing that than before, I got too excited buying my colorful balls
19/06
Kitties: 19 (Two rares)
Toys: 154 (36 plush cats, 36 toy fishes, 36 balls, 15 scratch posts, 7 cat grass, 1 couch)
Kittycoins: 145
Plans: Got my tiles and organized my toys, now I want to get cute wall decor
Okay so, you need, no, not need, you must make the toy mouse color changeable, please, I want to get one toy of every color
I didn’t get a chance to do this for 0.9 but I’ll definitely do it for an update soon :3
As someone who wants to learn how to code, I’ve been having a lot of fun looking at my save data and trying to understand how it works!

keep up the greatness!!
this would be extremely cool :>
i may have gone a bit over the top with my pluhies
One plushie for each color opition on the game. There are 36 colors, and the plushies are sold for 20 kittycoins each, therefore I have spent 720 kittycoins on plushies. I could be rich right now, but I choose to suffer with lag
Please add a big bag of cat food, it takes me around 5-7 minutes to fill all of my auto feeders every time they run out, adding a bag that fills atleast 2 or 3 would really be appreciated :)
plush cat cult, one for each of my cat colors (except for white and grey, i simply cant get one of those colors).
took me way too long to reaize i could just paint them
Just a bug to let you know, in the mac build you cant throw the balls, they just stick to your cursor and dont launch, it actually sometimes throws it, its just not constant
It seems to be working again..
Its been 5 minutes and still no cat has come to my shelter, i was two full food bowls and water so i'm confused why their not visiting.
Can you add a way of pausing only the cats, or like, hiding them or smth? It's hard to redecorate stuff (mainly the food area) when there are 14 cats going around and getting stuck on stuff, getting in the place I'm gonna place smth in, following around the food bows, and generally being a huge bother
Oml they rly get stuck in everything, i think i'm gonna have to redecorate and get evrything very close to the walls so they cant get stuck
Keep your placeables either atleast 4 units away from the wall or right up against it ^^
also put like 2 units atleast of space between items like bowls or right next to each other so the cats dont try to run through them and become a tornado :3

Pastel and Colorful kitties can be any color (though their fur label doesn’t specify), but every fur color is randomized within a set range, so no two kitties have the exact same fur color.
The toys determine the amount of kitties, but like, is it one toy per cat, so if I have two toys I can have two cats? Or is x amount of toys per cat?
I won’t spoil the exact magic but it uses a function with diminishing returns. So at first, 1 toy = 1 cat, but once you get more than a few toys, you start needing more and more toys to increase the limit by 1.

i have fully expanded the house and the yard and saved up lots of coins! i cant wait for the next update~
Awe, your place looks great ^^ The next version is well underway and will be ready very soon! (Unless I keep getting carried away adding new features like I have been for the past few days…)
yo how do you have more land underneath the house, I can only go right and left
I've loved the game, but can you add a way to buy an item multiple times at once? Other than that game is perfect<3
I’m not sure how that could work, with how the shop functions right now.. but I have a shop rework on my to-do list, and I’ll definitely consider figuring out how buying in bulk could work when I do that! Thank you for the suggestion ^^
i think maybe when we pet the cats it should show up a heart so we're 100% sure we pet them ! i just found out i could pet them at all and would LOVE if a little heart popped up !

super cute!! sound design is awesome. wish there was a way to pet the kitties though
u have to hover your curser back and forth on the cat dont click
oh ok thank you!
This game is so cute! I love all of my cats so much <3 (also great pixel art and sound design!)
Awe, thank you so much <3 I’m really happy you’re enjoying the game ^^
i luv this but i might adopted wayy too many cats. is there a limit of number of cats that are in my house?
The limit is based on how many toys you have! Buy more toys and scratching posts and stuff, and that will allow more kitties to be present at once :3
is this enough
This game is my go-to when I scare myself into tears after playing a horror game. I play it when I'm stressed or mad, too, I play this so much every time I open my computer my brother asks, "Playing the kitty game?" umm ofcc?! I wonder and/or if what your plans are for a update?

Those are a bunch of lovely ideas, I’ll write them down and see what ends up working out ^^ Definitely will add at least some of those, thank you! <3
Of course!! Hope to see the update, very excited!! Remember to eat and drink water, take you're time, perfection doesn't come while rushing
Haha thank you for the reminder, I appreciate it! I definitely need it :3
Lovely game! really enjoying it and look forward to any potential updates. noticed that while yarn costs 10 coin, you can then sell the yarn back for 15 coin. (tested all other buyables aside from the most expensive category (exp. permit-sofa) and yarn is the only one that has a different buy/sell price !)
Thank you! ^^
I fixed that (as well as a handful of other bugs and added save data management) in version 0.8.1 yesterday :3
I love this game so much, it's very addictive! literally 10 minutes ago i was like "i wish this supported landscape mode for Android" then when i went to check this page and it said "now supports landscape mode on Android!" and i'm like: 🤯
I did notice a glitch where one of my cats bugged out for a bit because they were trying to chase a cat that was leaving XD
one suggestion for a cat type: hairless cats!!
Awe, I’m so happy that you’ve been enjoying it ^^
The cats can be a bit dopey sometimes, but.. honestly that’s kinda how real cats are! haha
I can add hairless cats, but I feel like just a color type wouldn’t really convey their vibe very well and I’d have to make a whole new set of sprites and animations for them which is quite a bit more work, but it’s something I’d like to do eventually!
Hi
Just wanted to post my child over here
yes ty for listning
Wonderful, adorable and fun and clearly made with love
heyya its admiral loaf again and his pet minnie!
btw, im wondering if you ever consider adding keyboard shortcuts? maybe for shop, edit mode, etc. :)
I can totally add keyboard shortcuts! I’d like to implement key rebinding if I do, though, so it might not be right away. But it’s a great idea!
yay!!! thanks!! oh and also, more items to purchase at the shop would be nice too >.< a cat tower maybe? or cat hideout or tunnel :D
The next big update is going to be focusing mostly on lots of new decorative items you can buy! I’m already hard at work on it :3
OMG!! exciting!! i've saved up a lot of kittycoins. i AM READY for new decos~ and thanks a lot for your hard work for creating such a simple yet super fun game!
I LOVE this game, it is extremely relaxing to spend time watching the kittens and playing with them <3 I definitely recommend this game and I will talk about it in a short! Pls we need more about this game <3 Keep the dev! <3
I love this game. I do wish the yard/house expansions increased your population limit, but it seems to stay permanently locked at seven cats.
(Edit: I’m sorry! I looked at the math and there actually is a hard cap of 21) It’s based on how many toys and scratch-able things (posts, cat grass, sofas) you have, but there are diminishing returns.
But you’re right! Expanding your area should definitely permanently boost the limit, I’ll add that in the next version ^^
I play bugsnacks and this cat came... I don't know what to think. 
What a nice bunch of goobers, I'm emotionally attached to them
ghsgjhsdhdj they're so cute
Awwe, I love every single one of them! <3 Thank you for sharing!
can you add being able to pet the cats pls
You already can ^^ Hover your mouse over their head (don’t click) and move it left and right.
On android, it’s a little un-intuitive at the moment; touch and hold above their head (don’t pick them up), then slide your finger down over them, and drag left and right quickly all without lifting your finger (it will move the screen too, but it will pet them!)
There's already a way of doing that :) just rover your mouse over the kitty without clicking on them, after some seconds they'll get happy
ty to the people who replied ! !
