A life of luxury spent observing the fake gato...
They really let me spend 14 in-game days with my cat before they gave me the epilogue. I was expecting something open-ended where I can take care of my chosen cat for as long as I want to, as in some other games from this series. That's just the game set-up — they want to have the player raise other cat breeds, but they make the player start over for every cat without the abilities, money, and items acquired in the last playthrough.
It's cute, but pretty bare bones, like you'd expect from a GBA pet sim. I liked the events inside and outside the house and the little scraps of social sim. It would have been nice if there were more of these, but there's only enough unique events to last for one short playthrough (although perhaps some are unique to the breed or are based on the cat's stats. Having played a little of a second playthrough, it's all the same so far). It grows boring after seeing all of them.
The music tracks with the synth meows were fun, and also the worst music I've had stuck in my head in a while.
I grabbed a $4 copy of this from a used game store, which was entirely unnecessary. But if you enjoy trying out different pet simulators, I think this is worth emulating for a couple of hours~
Also, they make you pick "boy or girl" for the player character, and then never gender the player character---

Made for cat lovers indeed. It’s such a cute game. My fave part was bonding with the cat. Though I couldn’t get it to play with me because it’s often scared of the toys I buy from the shop. It’s pretty enjoyable though I wasn’t aware the end of the game was when that random ass girl came to visit and judge me for being a cat mom. Like who the hell does she think she is?!? Even the parents were nervous around her. She’s just a random cat-owner I met in the park!! How dare she judge me for my cat parenting skills. In a very short time at that!! I only had 14 days to prove myself to a nobody. A NOBODY. Idc. I’m such a hater. HAAATE her and how she abruptly ended my digital cat mom era. I really enjoyed taking care of my cat although it was short-lived. BB, you will be missed.
