Watching kittens dressed up as train conductors and play with toys…what could be better? The Japanese app called Neko Atsume, also known as Kitty Collector in English, has taken the internet by storm.

Filled with cute animated kittens and toys, this game makes you wish you were a crazy cat lady. The mechanics of the game are very simple. One begins the game with a small amount of silver fish and less goldfish (the more expensive items), which are then used to buy toys or lounging items for cats to come and visit you.

The only downside is that one needs to exit the app and wait before cats will come, and then open the app and see your yard fill with adorable cats. After each cat leaves, it leaves behind a reward. This reward can either be silver or goldfish, but silver is more common.

Each cat has a unique personality, such as the vigilant Conductor Whisker, capricious Peaches, and the nihilistic Billy the Kitten. Occasionally, these cats will leave behind small gifts such as pieces of string for the player/

There is not much to this game: rare cats are available that only come when specific items or food are placed in the yard, making it more fun to find new cats. This app definitely becomes more addicting after just one day. One starts to feel attached tp little furry friends and their daily visits. The less you visit, the more fun it is to see the new friends.
