I am obsessed with virtual cats. I'm obsessed with them napping, when they play with toys and even when they bring me scraps of garbage. These virtual cats have taken over my life and are starting to control it. I feed them before I feed myself. This is a cry for help but also the world needs to know about this game.

Have you ever wondered what in the world your friends are doing when you hear them say "Yes, I just got Lady Meow-Meow, but Tubbs ate all my food?" They are most likely playing a popular game called "Neko Atsume" which translates to "kitty collector." The game originated in Japan and has taken the Internet by storm.

In the game, you put out different toys and food and cats come and play in your yard. If they enjoy their stay, they will leave you either a grey fish or silver fish. You can save up the fish to buy more toys, furniture and food. Different goodies will attract some rare cats but the regular ones are just as cute.

The game is addicting and the cats' cuteness is overwhelming. Just watching them nap can brighten your day.

Sometimes they snuggle up in pillows, and it just gives you all the feels.

Or other times you can relate to them.

When the cats get really comfortable with your yard, they bring you little scraps of garbage called mementos, but when you receive them, you feel so loved.

Taking care of these cats makes you feel good inside, and you will soon become addicted to checking up on them. I often catch myself tearing up when my cats are doing something cute, and it's usually when I'm in public, which makes it even more strange.

Early in the game you start off with a one-screen yard. Once you save up enough fish, you can do a yard expansion and then remodel. Right now, I have the "zen garden" yard, and I'm saving up my gold fish for the "modern" theme.

I recently collected all the cats including all the rare ones with punny names.

Sometimes the cats have minds of their own and do the strangest things.

If you and your friends all have the game, soon conversations will become all about it.

This game has taken over my life, and it will take over yours, too. These cats have become a part of me and all my friends. We have classified ourselves as the cats and want to save up for all of the toys and remodels. Get this game because you will not regret it.
