The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, allowing players to enjoy the whimsical experience of causing chaos as a cat. While there are improvements like the energy system and quality of life changes, some players miss the depth and variety of previous iterations, feeling that the lack of new mechanics and a multi-level format limits the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, the game offers enjoyable activities and a charming aesthetic that resonates with cat lovers.
“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 game's story is light and centered around completing missions to collect cat photos, which may not appeal to those who aren't fond of cats. While the objectives can become repetitive, players find the experience enjoyable and relaxing, especially for cat lovers. Overall, it lacks depth but offers a fun, casual gameplay experience.
“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.”
“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 finishing 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!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, with some reporting long hours spent on repetitive tasks. However, once players achieve 100% completion, they can use excess rewards to alleviate some of the grind by purchasing items, making the process feel less burdensome for those aiming for full collections or achievements.
“Welp, got 100% completion. The game itself is fun, but grinding for 4 hours straight is suffering.”
“Once you've done that, excess treats can be used to purchase photos, which makes it a lot less grindy if you're trying to complete your collection or get all achievements.”
