๐ธ August 2023 Major Update - multiple kittens, day/night, mod support, and much more! ๐ธ
You can now have multiple kittens! Over a dozen different types to choose from.
Day and night cycle-- and of course, lighting items. You can change the light color, and I've included a rainbow color-shifting option.
Floating hearts appear around the map every sunrise. Your kittens can pick them up. Feeding your kitten temporarily makes it go faster.
Lots of new decorative items including rugs and more plants. More flooring options, too. The [daily] tab restocks every sunrise with random items.
Plants attract butterflies <3
The robot chef will refill empty food dishes automagically :)
Kittens loooove boxes!
And added quality-of-life features such as:
- volume control
- option to move, rotate, or flip items
- option to remove items
- option to rehome kittens (for a fee!) ๐ฅบ
- option to pause time
- option to arrange items in a grid or randomly

๐ Mod Support ๐
I'm so excited to add mod support to my game! You can now add your own custom items and rugs. Just drop the image files into the mod folder and they'll appear in the game. Download the file "Pocket Kitten 2023-08-23 - mod sample and instructions.zip" for the sample mod and how-to.

How do you play your downloaded version? I'm just kind of confused ;-;
Hi! You can click the red Download Now button (below the red Run game button) on this page to purchase the download version. It's available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Once the file is downloaded you can run it like any other program :D
I love your profile picture by the way!!! Thanks for playing!!
This is cute, but I maxed everything out in barely 10 or so minutes.
I should probably make it harder ๐ or add a lot more content... Haven't been able to work on it much but hopefully I can add a few things for a 2024 winter holiday update ๐
Thanks for playing and sharing feedback!
is there an option to save? it would be better to not start from the beginning over and over again lol
nvm i need to download the game to do that
Yes thanks so much! I tried to implement saving in the online version as well but when I tested it it was unreliable since it relied on the user's browser cookies. I haven't yet learned how to set up a reliable online save system.
ohhh alright, thanks for your reply :)
My pleasure!! Thanks so much for playing my game <3
of course!! :D
look at my island theme one
Omg I love it!! Thanks so much for sharing how you styled it ๐ I'll def have to work on more furnishings!
This game is so cute and I've really enjoyed playing it! Thank you so much for all the work you have put into it! เธ (แต๊ณ แตใ.แ
Yay thank you so much for playing and for your kind words about the game! Happy you enjoyed and I love your dainty kitten room design ! <3
I love this game! I find it so cute and relaxing, thank you!! It's amazing for self-regulating and it's so adorable.
One suggestion to make it absolutely perfect would be the addition of furniture, like little cat beds or couches or something.
Again, I love this game!! Thank you :))
Yay thank you so much for playing and thank you for leaving feedback here too! So glad you're enjoying it and I love the furniture suggestion. And I really appreciate you sharing a screenshot of how you decorated your space in the game ๐๐๐ super cozy!!
Hehe, here's mine :) <3 I had fun playing AND looking at the comments
Yay so happy you're having fun with it! Thank you for sharing ๐๐
everyone here showing off their cute little cat habitats then theres me:
Omg that's amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing, so glad you're enjoying decorating ๐๐๐
literally created an account just to comment- this is a really cute n calming game!
I'm so sorry I just saw your comment now! Really appreciate you playing and sharing your feedback <3 I hope you enjoy the new updated version too! <3
Very cute game ! I really like the pixel art and the little sounds the kitten make are adorable. The music is really nice too, and the pacing works well. Good job ! I had a fun time :3
I'm so happy to know you enjoyed and I appreciate you sharing a screenshot too! Love that you've designed these little areas with the rugs ๐ฅฐ
I love this game so much! Just having the kitten sounds on alone makes for great background noise and when I tab in to see what they're doing, it just makes my heart melts! (TใฎT)
Btw, will there eventually be mod support for adding custom kittens in the game as well?
So happy you're enjoying it, thank you for your kind feedback and thank you for sharing a screenshot too ๐ฅน๐ I would love to add mod support for custom kittens in the future, I hope I can learn how to implement it!
This is extremely cute and fun. I'll probably leave this open in a tab while I work as an idle game :)
Also I ran into a bug where I can't grab the floor, and I can't click to send a kitten to that location. Everything else seems to work. Dragging objects around attracts kittens, just not clicking on empty ground.
Thanks so much for playing and for sharing your feedback! :D
Would you remember if the bug happened after any particular event in the game? Or if it's happening in only a specific spot, or if it's for the entire floor? I'm not sure what's causing that bug but hopefully I can replicate it. The only other thing I can think of is-- if it's happening for the entire floor-- double check the [options] tab to make sure that "move view" and "call kittens" are still checked under "click and hold on floor".
It seems to be the whole floor. I tried toggling those checkboxes and it didn't fix the bug. I'll see if I can reproduce it in the future when I play this again :)
Alright thank you so much! ๐
This is fun so far, I'm excited for the multi kitty update! =^w^= I see you also have FLUFFY kitties coming up!
Also, I liked the music, especially the chill option.
Thanks so much for the kind comment, happy to hear you enjoyed!
this game is so fun ^^
Omg this is so gorgeous! Thanks so much for playing and for sharing this lovely screenshot. I'm currently working on a major update that will include multiple kittens, more kitten colors, longhaired kittens, and new toys and decor. I hope to release it soon <3
How do you get more than one cat? ;-;
Hey thanks for asking! I'm currently working on a major update that will include multiple kittens, more kitten colors, longhaired kittens, and new toys and decor. I post updates occasionally on my twitter, for example:

So happy you enjoyed it and I appreciate you posting a video and sharing it with me too! Thank you so much!!
Lil demon summoning :3
Omg I love it!! Thanks for playing and thanks for sharing the screenshot ๐ฅน๐ธ I'm excited to release a major update to this game (it allows multiple kittens!!), hopefully within the next week or so!
I enjoyed the kitty's movements--so cute!
I like the fact that you can set the background and music freely!
If I can raise more than one cat in the future, I'd love to have the app up and running in a corner of my desktop to take care of them all the time!
Thank you so much for the feedback and the video! Yes I am working on having multiple kittens available :D If you want, I can email you an advanced copy of the latest version of my game. You can email me at hello@mellowminx.com :)
