Cat Cafe Manager – Ver. ??? (Naptime Update)

  • Release date: TBA
  • Patch notes:
NEW FEATURE: 💤Sleepy Cats
  • Adding a new Cat Need:Sleep.
    • At the end of each workday cats with the Sleep Need (all cats after the first upgraded Stray Cat Lure) will want to sleep in a cat bed. The 2 Cat Litterbox Shrine upgrades have been changed to ‘Cat Comforts’ , and now include 6 cat beds to unlock. Place these in your cafe for your cats to sleep in; but higher Sleep Need cats want better beds! Cats that cannot sleep in a bed because your bed score isn’t high enough will complain instead. The following day these cats will be unavailable for 3 to 5 hours as they sleep during the day. Better get them their catnap!
NEW FEATURE: Bonner’s Ingredient Delivery Service
  • Have your ingredients delivered!
    • Complete the game (by finishing all the Shrine Upgrades) to unlock Bonner’s newly provided service! Once unlocked, you can purchase the new Delivery Service at the Food Market shop. After purchasing, click the button next to an Ingredient at the Food Market shop to turn on ‘auto delivery’. Once turned on, you will automatically purchase that ingredient whenever you run out! If you cannot afford it at this time, the game will give you a little notification, and turn off the auto delivery for now.
NEW CONTENT: Eastern Teahouse Furniture Set
  • This new high level furniture set includes tables, chairs, wallpapers, floors, kitchen utensils and decor that will allow you to turn your cat cafe into a beautiful teahouse, inspired by Chinese and Japanese designs. We hope you’ll use these to build a beautiful cafe!

  • FEEDBACK : Cats that are not available to entertain customers for any reason (because they are asleep or complaining about stress / playing) are now colored darker to indicate this a bit more.

  • Added sorting options to the Shop UI. Sort based on name (A>Z), price (low>high), furniture style or amount owned (least>most).
