Its frustrating camera controls and lack of activities and fun things to do with your cat balance out the positive effects brought on by its solid 3D visual design and clean, organized menu system, so the whole thing ends up a middle-of-the-road wash.

My six-year old was real excited about the game when I first got it, but that excitement has disappeared and he has moved on to another better title. My wife has tried to stick with it as well, and she too has become tired of the lacking challenges.

Ultimate Luigi gave it a2:
This "game" is for over-exited 4-year-olds who want to turn cats into princesses. I made the mistake of buying it. It is painfully repetitive and I tired of it within hours. If you are old enough to read this, save your money.

Kayla B. gave it a10:
I like it ... it is fun ... and the catz rock!

Georgia D. gave it a6:
Its a good game but theres no point in it. All you do in it is feed your cat, take pictures and buy stuff for them and dress them up. It could be better.

Nina T. gave it a0:
Piece of garbage. Extremely, i repeat Extremely, boring and repetitive. All you can do is fed your cat (whcih they dont eat immediately), decorate the room, and photograph your cat. The lame challenges include: photograping a nieghbours cat in a special outfit (they give you a clue, you gotta figure it out, but a newborn baby would know the answer) and taking care of the neighbours cat. It was probably geared toward younger children, and maybe, keyword: maybe, they would enjoy it. But I don't kow. Just don't buy it.

Corrina T. gave it a2:
Stupid game. The cats are cute and all, but all you do is take pictures!!! you cannot do anything other then dress up your kitty and photograph it. Well, maybe later on you do other stuuf, but I was so bored by it I didn't get very far. No point in buying it. Even if you like photography. I like photography. But it's still stupid, boring and repetitive.

Jessica S. gave it a7:
It’s a good game for cat lovers. The initial set up of choosing your cat is very cute. After that, you can pet your cat, feed it, and play with it. That’s really all you can do with your cat for the whole game. Every so often, you will go on a mission to take a picture of another cat, feed your friends cat, etc. within a time limit. Doing these missions earns you either coins or collectable cards. You can spend the coins in the pet store to buy food and toys for your pet, or in the home store to buy new furniture, wallpaper and flooring. After you have been playing for a while, you can take a picture of your cat and send it to a cat magazine and if they like your picture, you earn a lot of coins and you get to keep a copy of the cover, featuring your cat. Your aunt also sends you coins each week so you can always feed your cat. It entertains me more then I thought it would.

Areti B. gave it a2:
At first, the game seems cute but after 5 minutes, you'll realize that there really isn't anything to do. You'll find yourself waiting around for a while, waiting for a new mission. I expected a lot more from this game.
