9/10, it is an amazing and very interesting game. My only con which intertwines itself into a pro is the fact it acts like a traditional "oh my god spooky scary thing ahhh" horror movie or game. But the way it does it so well is the fact it weves psychological horror and deeper meaning into it. Each ending feels like if two friends were together, stoned asf and were writing the game but after finishing it, it truley feels like a complicated, interesting story. Even though the main character is YOU it feels like their own seperate character aswell with their own emotions and feelings and life. I love how they took a simple game program, renpy, and turned it into something so interesting and fun (and also terrifying the dog park ending HAUNTS ME-)
Holy shit finished this game but goddamn i did not expect much of a masterpiece to come out of it!! Havent seen anyone discuss this but spoilers!! this was an absolutely amazing psychology horror and i did not expect it be a metaphor for abusive relationships, so well written that it can stand both ways. I will def be on the lookout for any games you release because this was just so beautifully done and so well told. Love love love the game!!
omg i just stumbled across this masterpiece of a game , i think i left a comment here a while ago on an old account , but i just wanted to say how much i love this game !!! it was one of the first VNs ive ever played and its what has lead to me playing more and more VNs!!! awsome game!1
i might be a lil late but depending on what you mean there are two options:
1: to make a save file in game just click on the save button at the bottom and pick a file
2: to play the game again after beating it click the "..." option on the main menu and the cat will ask to play again and you have to select yes all 3 (i think) times
how to play don't take this cat home firstly a cat that basically disturbing cat by hurting or spare the mouse it's killing fiercly with her claws that doesen't want it to disturb no one it's own claws on the box side or the edge's since the cat killed and spared or killing it's good voilence's good sensitive earing stalking it's goodians that don't go crazy with the trust could the game do not take this cat home because it kill's you by your disturb saying for a reason it's not a good a horror game some time's a cat with killing violence die or killing all the time in that game it's dangerous no trouble's with the cat no reasoning the cat because it's dead for a real time no running yeah we need to the door is also locked no cat in the chair it's scratche's and killin for a 3.pm it's never killed the guy he has no violence's cuz the knife where the table at 9.pm it's never killed guy's on the whole time it's never been like that so no trust :game could: do not take this cat home: game :mode horror :violence sound chin the cat doll chomp! never trust :game could don't take this cat home:(
This is not a gameplay video, but instead just a funny story I have about having Literal Nightmares while editing the footage of this game, just wanted to share the story with the creator and the community ^-^
ACUTALLY ONE OF THE FIRST GAMES ON HERE TO MAKE ME ALMOST CRY. I swear, my tears were about to fall. that ending was great and i cant wait for other games u make (if u plan on making more). I LOVED THIS, i partly feel bad for killing IT which what hurt the most. this game differently makes me think
i just realized..we stab the cat with a glass shard A GLASS SHARD not a knife or anything A GLASS SHARD and the thing about glass shards? ITS SHARP EVERYWHERE so while stabbing the cat we might have cut ourselves too and i think that might be a metaphor that letting go of a toxic relationship hurts most of the time no matter what LIKE
I was looking for random games that was under horror or Psychological horror, and i came across this and thought huh, its a cat game whats the worst that could happen
The endings were so honestly insane, the creativity goes to a whole different level and i loved every single one of them, i reached the end and it surprised me even more and more
The symbolic story behind it or at least of what i managed to gather up made me surprised as i sat there and literally kept thinking to myself
This is so well made, the story is so well written, getting all the endings and then playing the final 'stage' was so worth it
words can't accurately describe how much i love this game. it was one of the very first itchio games i played so i think back on it from time to time, and a few days ago i decided to play it again - from scratch, all saves and progress deleted. and once again everything that captivated me about it the first time i played it, captivated me again. first of all, the art is ADORABLE (so is the cat but shh don't tell it that). cute and nice and clean - the music you chose for this is the same, i found myself liking it very much and how it matches the tone of the game quite well - like a mix of playfulness and it sort of reminds me of... weirdcore / liminal ? music which personally i love
NOW FOR THE GAME ITSELF AHHHHHH im so in love. getting the different endings was a lot of fun, very unique and creative too. i also found myself very drawn to the horror aspect of this game <3
now moving on to the cat and ending of the game - i actually found myself tearing up a bit, especially when we have a last conversation with it and it starts telling us that it loves us and to not leave it alone. because essentially,,, isn't it just like us?? lonely and alone.
and the way we describe the following weeks after, of the doubts of our choices but ultimate relief that it's gone - AEHHHHHH TELL ME THAT ISN'T AN ALLEGORY FOR ESCAPING A TOXIC AND UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP UGHHHHHH tears man. tears in my eyes holy shi
anyways thank you so much for creating this game, will always have a vv special place in my heart </3333
Though I don't consider this a scary game, I think it's fine and appreciate how the game uses horror as a storytelling tool. It’s not perfect, which is fine, but it has really good-with great art, sound design, and a genuinely beautiful story. The final ending honestly brought a few tears, though maybe that's my sappier side, the story is so beautiful (Sorry for the lack of a better word) and its relatable too, I don't know how to put in words how much I love this game, so I will just say with all my heart, thank you so very much for this wonderful and beautiful experience! this game was well worth my time, and maybe worth more, thank you!
i rllyyy like the forever ending so much i was rly hoping the small kitty would be IT :c yandere IT is mwah :D i rly didnt wanna persisttt!! but i loved collecting all the endings & ur game is lovely maybeee u should make a continuation<3
im pretty sure its when you collect all the endings you can, then it tells you "you are ready" oh and the room is when you say "youre not taking the cat home" and it gives you options, its the "???" one
sorry i dont remember everything word-for-word!! but its at the start!

I enjoyed the game! While I was recording my gameplay, I didn't realize I was recording for nearly an hour lol. This game can hypnotize someone lol.
ACUTALLY ONE OF THE FIRST GAMES ON HERE TO MAKE ME ALMOST CRY. I swear, my tears were about to fall. that ending was great and i cant wait for other games u make (if u plan on making more). I LOVED THIS, i partly feel bad for killing IT which what hurt the most. this game differently makes me think
top (whatever number) questions i have:
1: is there going to be any update of DNTTCH
2: what other games do you plan on making?
3: what gender is the cat (i know its an IT but i need like a proper pronoun)
4:what music was created by?
5:how do you make these images?
6:where some of the background images real places?
FINAL QUESTION... the most unanswered one ive been trying to think of SINCE 5 MONTHS
...
...
what GENDER are you?
Hello Pixeliminal. We send you an email regarding the Italian localization. :)
i just realized..we stab the cat with a glass shard A GLASS SHARD not a knife or anything A GLASS SHARD and the thing about glass shards? ITS SHARP EVERYWHERE so while stabbing the cat we might have cut ourselves too and i think that might be a metaphor that letting go of a toxic relationship hurts most of the time no matter what LIKE
That's a good theory, and i can see how it makes sense! :)
yeah
I was looking for random games that was under horror or Psychological horror, and i came across this and thought huh, its a cat game whats the worst that could happen

anyways thank you so much for creating this game, will always have a vv special place in my heart </3333
Hello! I really liked this game and i wanted to ask if you would be interested in an italian translation of this game? Please contact me
I don't have windows computer yet
I'm not 29...
https:// pixeliminal.itch.io/do-not-take-this-cat-home
I'm just a kid. I couldn't play Do NOT Take This Cat Home...
trust, the cat is adorable.

I, Chris, Hereby PLEDGE to Completely submit to the cat,
and obey IT's every word.
Signature/Sign:
im certain this is coded with python
Yes! I used Ren'Py which uses python :D
i thought you used pygame
the cat took my family and turned them into food.
Bad kitty! >:C I am so sorry for the inconvenience!
Thank you so much for trying out the game! I'm glad you liked it :D
very peak, now we just need a game called "Do NOT Take This Dog Home" and then i will be at peace
XD That'd be amazing! I wouldn't mind seeing someone else's take on the game with an eldritch pup instead <3
i rllyyy like the forever ending so much
i was rly hoping the small kitty would be IT :c
yandere IT is mwah :D i rly didnt wanna persisttt!!
but i loved collecting all the endings & ur game is lovely
maybeee u should make a continuation<3
Sorry, there won't be a sequel TTwTT but I'm glad you liked the little yandere furball <3 and that you enjoyed the game! Thank you for playing!
i would've loved it if there was a sequel with IT posessing the cat TwT
I may be super retarded, but- How the hell do I get ending 36? I literally cannot find the room ( Please help me ) D:
im pretty sure its when you collect all the endings you can, then it tells you "you are ready" oh and the room is when you say "youre not taking the cat home" and it gives you options, its the "???" one
sorry i dont remember everything word-for-word!! but its at the start!
Okay! turns out I am special. :c I missed ending 18 in the theatre. Thank you though <3
Glad you figured it out! Sorry I was too late to help TTwTT
Amazing game! I loved it 😊
Thank you so much for trying out the game! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Alguien sabe como descargarlo en telefono?
no lo puedo abrir, incluso con la descarga ya hecha .
Que yo sepa, el juego solo puede correr en PC...
Seguramente por ello no te va en teléfono :c
Why can we not play this on browser>:(
frrr OMGG
Sorry, the game's too big for browser TTwTT
Who are you to tell me I can't take that cat home>:(
I sincerely apologize for doubting your judgement
LOL?
I tried to tell you! XD
This game was a pain because I'm horrible with my lefts and rights. But it was super fun.
XD Sorry about that! But you made it to the ending though! Thank you so much for pushing through! :D
Are you a cat irl?
OwO Hehe..
What if i do an Ending 5 on you
