This game, designed for Macintosh systems, features 101 kittens; the player may adopt all the cats. The virtual cats can be taught tricks like sitting and pouncing, and they respond to a system of praise and rewards. The player may groom the cats and play with the feline companions, as well as feed and pamper them. Entering the cats into shows allows the player to gain virtual money that allows for the purchase of upgrades, like new furniture and toys for the cat. Players may also buy clothing to dress the cats in virtual outfits.
Catz
Several different versions of this game, designed for Windows systems, are available. Players may choose from 10 different breeds of cat companions, and they may adopt as many cats as they wish. However, the cats must be cared for properly or they may run away. The newer versions of this game include voice recognition features, so the cats will respond to commands from the player after he has trained them to perform different tricks. Players may dress the cats up in different outfits and place them in different settings, and they may also take virtual photos of the dress-up scenarios to save on the computer.
