- “The story is cute and the NPCs are great.”

- “The main story can easily be done in 3 hours and 100% achievements in 6-7 hours.”
- “I really hope that eventually maybe more areas to explore will open up or maybe some free DLC quests come along and maybe that will sway my opinion but unfortunately unless small short story games is your kinda gear I just can't recommend it and it hurts me to say that when I was really looking forward to this game.”

- “It runs great on the Steam Deck and is that delightful level of no-pressure casual gaming I like after a hard day.”
- “Unfortunately, it is crazy buggy.”

- “If the ancillary features (music, visuals, vibes) don't grip you, the fetch quest centric game design seems ennui-inducing, and the jump controls aren't to your liking, you'll probably just speed through to see the credits roll in a few hours.”

Overall, players find that while the game is enjoyable and features a charming design, some achievements can feel tedious and grindy, particularly those requiring repetitive tasks like recycling cans or getting photographed.

- “Some of the achievements can be a bit grindy, especially if you wait till you finish the main quest before doing them.”

Overall, the game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players find enjoyment in exploring the world and collecting achievements, many agree that the short length and lack of substantial content limit its replay value.

- “I also like that the game has replayability even after completing the main story.”
- “It took me 6 hours to finish the game and 100% it, so it is fairly short and there is no replayability unless you really just want to mess around as a cat again or you'd like to speedrun.”
- “This game needs to be bigger, in pretty much every way for it to really work; it feels like a demo if anything, almost no replay value at all too.”
- “Sadly, I don't think the game has a lot of replay value.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing significant performance issues, particularly on the Steam Deck, where stuttering and unplayability were reported after short play sessions.

Character development in the game is highlighted by its charming and adorable character designs, particularly the main kitty, which features natural animations and engaging personality traits that resonate with real cat behaviors. Players appreciate the lighthearted dialogue and clever interactions that enhance the overall experience, showcasing a delightful blend of visual style and sound design that contributes to a memorable and immersive character-driven narrative.
- “You have the incredibly natural idle and movement and emote animations (and purrs, trills, meows!) of the kitty itself, the fantastic sound design as a whole, and a kickass jazzy soundtrack that is right up my alley. Beautiful visuals that carry their own unique style, adorable character designs, fun, lighthearted and engaging dialogue, and a myriad of references (the Quack Fighter 2 theme is still stuck in my head!)... not to mention the tons of really small things that add up to an even more impressive package. For example, if you wear your little hardhat, the construction worker doesn't throw you out of the construction site! Or, if you spin in place, the kitty gets dizzy and has to shake it off. Or how about when you nap on the printer, it prints out a kitty loaf where you can see your tummy and paws on the paper? Also, waking up and stretching after you load a save. The accuracy of the kitty's actions to a real cat cannot be overstated.”
- “+2 extra points for the cutest character design I've seen in a while.”
- “- Sweet and silly character designs/personalities.”
- “The character development feels shallow and lacks depth.”
- “I found the characters to be one-dimensional and unrelatable.”
- “There is little to no growth in the characters throughout the game.”
