Pet the cat
Pico8's most accurate cat petting simulator just got a huge update. Version 2.1 includes, but is not limited to, Purring, better performance and variation in personality types.
It now runs at a smooth 60 fps, which wasn't possible in earlier versions, due to performance issues.
Get settled with a kittie that is all yours to enjoy.
features:
- A wide variety of cute kitties
- Very acccurate cat behaviour modelled after real life cats
- A disembodied hand for you to pet the kittie
- Real cat feel
- Nice looking background wallpaper
- Ultra realistic cat sounds (now includes purring)
- Lots of scritches
- Allergen free
- Even though it may want to, it cannot scratch or bite you (though it may hiss)
- Unlike its real life counterpart, this kittie cannot escape you.
- Did I mention the realistic cat behaviour?
- Spicy kittie behaviour when annoyed
- real purring
- Hissing can be turned off in the menu
Some hints on getting to enjoy a nice purr:
Like real cats, petting against the grain is not recommended.
Changelog:
Version 2.1
- rewritten the cat rendering code, so it can run smoothly at 60 fps.
- added purring
- added hissing (can be turned off in menu)
- cats now come with slightly different personalities
- I expect there to be some new bugs too
- there are two special (and rare) personality types
Depending on feedback I might make hissing opt in rather than opt out in the future.
bugfixes
- eye color and cat color can no longer match
Previous version
edit: tweaked the description to be a bit cleaner
The simulated digital meows and noodle-like petting physics are surprisingly entertaining. Nice job! 🙂
I love this it's so cool. It really feels like im petting the cat

@Verb obviously this is how you do it.
your comment was hilarious by the way.
I am also working on a version with a bit more fleshed out animations
Hold on, I was not expecting to see my kitty on the featured page.
Is this even real or am I dreamnig?
@KINGSGUARDGAMES I did consider adding purring at some point, but at the time I failed to create a pleasant sounding purr and kind of gave up on it.
I gave it another try yesterday after reading your comment and finally landed on a result I am happy with.
I will probably release the updated cart somewhere this week or next week.
All it needs now is some balance checks. I want people to have to put in some effort, but obviously not make it overly hard (at least not for most kitties, they aren't all the same after all).
@Doriencey wow looking forward to the update 😊 best cat petting game ever! Getting a good purr going is a fun target for the stroker 😁
