This & Cats

About

This & Cats lets you run a cozy retail shop while sharing the space with a bunch of feline roommates. In first-person view you handle daily tasks like stocking shelves and serving customers all while cats wander the store doing cat things. The gameplay loops around balancing business needs with pet care as your furry coworkers influence customer moods and sales outcomes. Simple mechanics focus on peaceful interactions over stress. The game leans into its niche premise with charm customers often commenting on the cats and the cats responding to your attention. While not graphically ambitious the low stakes and warm atmosphere have earned it a steady following among casual simulation fans. Its 2021 release brought a refreshingly relaxed alternative to busier management titles with many players returning for the calm companionship angle.
