The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, allowing players to wreak havoc as a cat without consequences. While there are enjoyable mechanics and quality-of-life improvements, some players feel the lack of a deep storyline and meaningful new features limits the overall experience. Additionally, the introduction of cat stats adds a layer of strategy, but it restricts player choice in selecting their feline characters.
“The gameplay is genuinely really fun.”
“The cat pictures were really cute, and the gameplay was super fun; destroying everything as a cat is a dream come true.”
“Each level also features more gameplay variety beyond just toppling things; for instance, you can deplete your home's toilet paper supply, help annihilate its rat infestation, and even show your owner what you think about their ugly curtains.”
“If you're looking for a deep storyline or varied gameplay, this isn't it.”
“The cats also have stats - restricting which are actually useful in most gameplay, so I don't feel like I can just pick and choose any cat I want.”
“While I absolutely appreciate all the quality of life changes (collectibles no longer being tied to RNG, permanent perks, energy system replacing pointless time limits), I miss the multi-level randomized playthrough format, and the lack of any real new, meaningful mechanics holds back what should otherwise be the definitive version.”

The graphics of the game have received positive feedback for being colorful, cute, and improved over the original, featuring a simplistic cell-shaded art style that enhances the overall experience. However, some players feel that the new graphics lack the charm of the original, expressing a preference for its aesthetic and sound design. Overall, the updated visuals are seen as a strong point, contributing to a fun and engaging atmosphere.
“Instantly fell in love with this game just like I did with the original a few years back! Super fun, colorful graphics, cats, funky music, and even more tasks for my silly little completionist brain.”
“Simplistic, cute cell-shaded graphics combine with pleasant music and silly sound effects to craft an experience that is equal parts fun to look at and play.”
“With fun music to play to, purrdy remastered graphics, and physics and controls that allow me to go catty, this game is purrfect!”
“The overall vibe of the game feels like it has a lot less charm than the original. Personally, I prefer the original HUD, sound effects, graphics, etc. The new graphics are better, but I just like how the original looks.”

The game's story is light and lacks depth, focusing primarily on completing missions to collect cat photos, which can become repetitive. While it offers a fun and chill experience for cat lovers, those who aren't fond of cats may find the gameplay limiting and less engaging. Overall, it caters to a niche audience looking for casual play rather than a rich narrative.
“I didn't get all the collections, but I did 100% the story.”
“I think it's a very chill game when you just want to play around and be a cat and knock stuff over, and there's a good amount of achievements and cats to unlock throughout the missions.”
“If you're looking for a deep storyline or varied gameplay, this isn't it.”
“I will say the objectives in missions can get a bit repetitive, but it is still fun.”
“But I wouldn't recommend this game if you don't like cats much since one of the main things is completing a little gallery of cat photos by completing the quests. If you don't like cats, you probably wouldn't have much of a reason to want to do it, and it would limit how much you can do in the game!”

“I got it on sale thinking it'd be funny to try; however, I genuinely enjoy this game.”
“A funny cat game (I like cats) where you can get treats to unlock upgrades like energy, jump, speed, and swat power.”
“Meow meow, some cat pictures are actually very funny, so it's a delight to see which one you get every time.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly when it involves long sessions of repetitive tasks. However, once players achieve certain milestones, they can use excess rewards to alleviate some of the grind by purchasing items, making the completion process feel less burdensome. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the grinding can be a significant drawback for some.
“Welp, got 100% completion. The game itself is fun, but grinding for 4 hours straight is suffering.”
“Grinding feels excessive and tedious, making the experience less enjoyable.”
“The game has potential, but the amount of grinding required to progress is overwhelming.”
