About Cattails | Become a Cat!
Cattails lets you live as a feral cat in an open‑world setting where you hunt, fight, explore, and socialize. The game blends animal simulation with light RPG elements and requires you to keep food on hand.
You can join one of three colonies, court a partner from sixteen candidates, raise kittens, dig for treasure in caves, and customize your cat’s coat, eyes, accessories, and personal den.

Cat Colonies
