The game's story mode is seen as a secondary feature, with some players preferring the more relaxing "my room" mode, which offers a comforting experience, especially on bad days. While the story mode has its merits, it may not appeal to all, particularly those who simply want to enjoy the game's calming elements, like interacting with the cat.
“First, there is the 'story mode'.”
“As a cat-lover, I would like to just sit down and pet the cat in house mode, instead of story mode.”

“The game is fun for about an hour and then just gets tedious taking care of the cats.”
“It would be nice if players could adjust the frequency of the poop. Cleaning the litter tray becomes tedious because they are always pooping.”
