The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often every few interactions. Many users report issues with in-app purchases, particularly the "Top Cat" option, which is supposed to remove ads and unlock features but frequently fails to work, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Overall, while some players enjoy the game itself, the monetization strategy, characterized by frequent ads and problematic purchases, significantly detracts from the experience.
“Great game, no ads, good gameplay, and still a full game even though you have to pay for more experience.”
“No ads, subscription might be a bit high, but it's a pretty cool app!”
“Way too many ads, would be nice to have an option to buy them away for cheaper than the top cat option.”
“I bought the 'top cat' package and yet I am still being shown ads, I am not able to switch to light mode, and the 'help' option requires you to have an account that you can't even self-register for.”
“I paid for top cat; can't restore my purchase and I still get ads every second.”
“I purchased top cat to remove ads, but I guess if you quit playing it they revoke your ownership.”

Some users find the mini-games overly difficult and experience technical issues like crashes and sound problems, leading to a perception of the game as a time-waster. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable for some, the ad interruptions and repetitive elements detract from the experience for others.
“Definitely love the unique spin on the classic BitLife formula, lots of great cat puns and cool mechanics.”
“The game is fun and switches up the gameplay on BitLife a bit.”
“Great game, no ads, good gameplay, and still a full game even though you have to pay for more experience.”

The emotional aspect of the game is profoundly impactful, eliciting strong feelings of sadness and empathy as players navigate the life of a cat and its relationship with its owner. Many users report experiencing tears and deep emotional connections, particularly during moments of loss or hardship, making it a poignant experience for those who can handle its intensity. While some find it overwhelmingly heart-wrenching, others appreciate the emotional depth and the opportunity to help improve the owner's life through the cat's perspective.
“It's also interesting to gradually find out about the owner's life through the eyes of a cat (e.g. what they tell them, that they smell of booze, seem stressed etc) and how you can help them and make their life better :) wholesome 100”
“If you wanna cry... play this game. I spent the last moments with my owner and it's so emotional. Love the game though, but very emotional.”
“Amazing! It made me cry when I died for the first time.. it made me remember the death of my cat, Simba.”

The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and realistic, while others criticize it for being derivative and lacking depth compared to similar games like BitLife. Many users express a desire for more unique storytelling elements and the ability to continue narratives from different perspectives, particularly from humans. Overall, while some appreciate the interactive storytelling, others feel it falls short and is overly simplistic.
“Very fun game but if you don't like just clicking buttons and reading stories, it's probably not for you.”
“Good game, I like it; it is like a story but also you create your own story.”
“This ham4 is awesome; the plot is amazing and it's very realistic and a great time waster.”
“Took me about 3 minutes at most to delete the game. There's no point to the game except squeezing money out of people or getting them to watch ads. It's a copy and paste of Doglife with cats. I see you've decided to take an EA Games route, except worse. They at least make their games a little different with better graphics and new story modes. You basically just put a darker theme and changed the picture. This game was a serious mistake.”
“Very fun game, but if you don't like just clicking buttons and reading stories, it's probably not for you.”
“I love everything but one thing: you can't read the story after you are dead!”
