We’re even giving you the ability to adjust eye color and pupil shape for each eye separately – a win for odd-eyed cats everywhere!
New Neighborhoods

    • We’ve also opened up two interior environments, each packed with surprises! Dare you play with the unpredictable inventions in Tanuki’s secret workshop? Or would you prefer to scamper around the palatial home of fluffy super-influencer Taffy as she glares from her cat basket of despair? Only one way to find out…!

So much more!
