Many gamers purr over Stray, where you play as an orange tomcat navigating a cyberpunk dystopia full of robots. CNET’s Shelby Brown calls it “a one-of-a-kind video game that is much more than a source of cat puns.” It’s not just humans who are fascinated. Stray is also a hit with real cats.
The Cats Watching Stray Twitter account retweets videos and images of feline Stray fans enjoying the game alongside their humans. The cats seem to enjoy the characters’ movement, as well as the occasional meow.
Director Cameron Kennedy shared a video of his tuxedo cat spinning around while the cats in the game talk. “The Meow button in Stray is just awesome,” he wrote.
Some of the furry game viewers get close enough to touch the screen in an attempt to catch some digital cats.
One player had to chase the cats out of the arcade to be able to play.
The game, published by Annapurna Interactive, is available for PlayStation and PC via Steam. Lest you think it’s just for humans and cats, Cats Watching Stray also retweets videos of dogs getting in on the action. Ozzy the dog might have been a little too keen…
Maybe all this four-legged Stray love is a sign that there should be a Twitch for pets.
