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'm a little nervous XD I don't know what to say, but as I said in the review, very briefly, I loved the game, its art, its music, everything. But above all, the message it has with it, after completing and understanding it, the message it leaves to the player is beautiful in my opinion, and very valuable, it's a shame that the game is not so well known...
I don't know if you like the idea, if not, that's fine, but, just as a suggestion... Recently I've been thinking about the idea of having the game in the SPANISH language (yes, well, I speak Latin Spanish as my native language...) and although I understand English, having the game in Spanish seems -at least to me- a good idea. I don't know if you like the idea or not, but I was thinking that maybe I (Yes, a complete stranger, but enthusiastic about the game) can help you translate it into this language -Spanish- trying not to lose the atmosphere that the game tries to create with its texts (I don't expect anything in return, I clarify), if you want to comment on it, whether you agree or not, I'll be looking forward to it! Thank you and greetings c:
I'm so sorry for the late response! There's someone currently working on a Spanish translation already, but I truly appreciate your offer!
I'm honored that you liked the game enough to consider translating it -- I know that it's a difficult job and it'd be especially difficult with how long the game's story is ^^;; so I appreciate your consideration. I'll let you know if anything changes with the current translator though! Again, thank you for the kind offer and I'm sorry for the late response!
This pops up with a lot of the games on here lol, at least for me but if u want to, you can get past it by pressing more info and then a new button appears at the bottom. 🔥🔥🔥
This game was a lot more depressing than I thought it would be. I thought it was just gonna be a cute cat horror game. BOY was I wrong. Love that there are so many different paths you can take, great job.
Hello, I really liked the game. In my opinion, it's one of the best visual novels I've seen. I don't know if "visual novel" is the correct term, but something I would like you to implement would be the translation into Spanish, since I have a bit of difficulty with English since I'm Mexican and don't know much English. I had trouble understanding some of the dialogue.
Even if you want, I could help you with the translation.
In conclusion, the game is very good, one of the best visual novels I've seen.
I got all the endings, and I have to say it was beautiful, definitely worth the effort to get them all I LOVE IT, the spooky atmosphere and body horror were spectacular I was shivering looking at that pretty cat after that it kill me multiple times 😭
And I loved the art and the yandere monster kitten theme had me on my knees I would have fallen into that evil kitty clutches again and again too because, why friend shape if not friendly? 💔

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
I LOVE Art, ESPECIALLY This Game's Art Style. So, I Made a Little Doodle!:
(The Doodle! just Click This Link!)
Pixelliminal, I Support you a LOT!
Aww that's so cute!! :D Thank you so much! <3<3
I'm a little nervous XD

There is no problem with the delay! It's also good to know that the game might be in Spanish soon, good luck with that! c:
I loved this game! It was cute but disturbing at the same time <3
Thank you so much for trying out the game!
what
This pops up with a lot of the games on here lol, at least for me but if u want to, you can get past it by pressing more info and then a new button appears at the bottom. 🔥🔥🔥
MacOS does smth similar but im admin so i get past it
This is not a virus warning by any means. This only shows up because the dev did not buy a validation certificate from Microsoft.
However, every time you download from this site, before you play, I recommend right clicking the folder and scanning with Microsoft Defender at least.
I See this Message on Most Itch.io Games I Have, but I Didn't get a Virus when I Downloaded!
This is the first game I've gone full completionist mode on, it was so fun and I love the True Ending, beautiful!
Thank you for playing to the very end :D I'm glad you enjoyed the game and the story!
This game was a lot more depressing than I thought it would be. I thought it was just gonna be a cute cat horror game. BOY was I wrong. Love that there are so many different paths you can take, great job.
Thank you so much for trying out the game!
When I tried to download it. It says that the download is forbidden.
Is the game really that f####d up that Google preventing me from playing it lmao 🤣
Like no joke
It made it even better
Just a reminder not to download a game that f####d up.
LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣
That is so weird! I haven't heard of that yet X'D
Were you eventually able to download it?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the game :D
Someone is currently working on a Spanish translation, so hopefully it will go through in time!

It's Faux-Friendly shaped! >:D
Thank you so much for playing till the end! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, its story, and the eldritch furball <3
This was a wonderful game to play and had such a meaningful ending
I'm glad you liked the game and its story! Thank you so much for playing!
This is the BEST novel game i've ever played
Thank you so much!
I saw Jay (Kubz scouts) play the FULL thing and I was OBSESSED. Finally found the game and imma play it on my own 😼
I hope you enjoy experiencing the game at your own pace! Thanks for giving it a try!
Justo estaba jugando es justo lo estaba es por jugar pero justo todavía estaban con plata
We should make "persist" a like small meme within the DNTTCH (Do Not Take This Cat Home) community?
That could be so cute! Or creepy, but secretly encouraging? Would definitely confuse anyone who hasn't played the game, so that'd be fun XD
How do you delete data
If you want to play again with a full reset, you'll have to delete ALL save/persistent data from TWO game files:
-- one in the folder where you installed the game
-- AND one in these platform-specific locations on your computer:
Look for the 'DoNOTTakeThisCatHome' folder and delete ALL save/persistent data in it
bast game eiver
Thank you!
why you cant get the cat? i love cats
I love cats too <3 There IS one ending where you can be with the cat..
F O R E V E R OwO
