The graphics feature beautifully rendered classical Chinese paintings, showcasing delicate colors and brush strokes, which create a relaxing atmosphere. However, some players feel that the cats, while properly designed, are not seamlessly integrated into the artwork, making them difficult to spot at times. Overall, the visuals are appreciated for their artistic quality, but there is a call for better integration of the cats within the scenes.

- “The whole idea of these games is to relax, take in the lovely artwork with its delicate coloring and brush strokes, and enjoy finding the plump little cats hidden away, or simply lounging around and generally enjoying themselves.”
- “There are several puzzles to play in this game, so you can expect to find about 600 cats over several artworks.”
- “The not so good: it looks like some of the cats are not very integrated into the graphics.”
