Neko Atsume is an app that has gained some insane traction in the last couple of weeks. The game is centered around a group of cats that come and go from a yard as they please. Your job is to try to entice the kitties to come back more and more often and to bring you gifts of fish, goldfish, and "goodies". My roommate was the one that showed me the game and she loved it. After downloading it about a week ago I am now completely obsessed with it and understand the hype. It is so easy to find yourself compulsively checking the app to see if your favorite cat has come by or to see if you have enough goldfish to upgrade the yard. So here are five moments that only Neko Atsume fans will understand.
1. When a Rare Cat Comes To The Yard
From Joe DiMeowgio to Mr. Meowgi there are tons of rare cats that can occasionally be brought to your yard by putting special goodies and food out. These cats typically will also bring your rare goodies or even mementos. To lure rare cats to the yard you will need their object of interest and a certain type of food. For Joe DiMeowgio you will need to place a baseball in the yard and have the food "Ritzy Bits" out . It is super exciting when a rare cat passes through and it certainly gives you bragging rights.
2. When You Miss Your Favorite Cat
Like most normal people I am not constantly on the app and therefore I usually don't see my favorite cats. Personally, I love the snowball who just rolls around with the little red ball. It's just precious. A huge improvement to the app would be notifications for when your favorite cats come by, but I don't anticipate that happening.
3. When Tubbs Eats All Of Your Frisky Bits
There is a cat named Tubbs that is super fat and will come by only to eat your food. He lies around by the food bowl with his round little belly up in the air. The awesome thing about Tubbs though is that he at least leaves you a lot of fish which acts as the app's form of currency.
4. When You Splurge On The Nice Food And Only Get Regular Cats.
Picture this. You open the app for the first time that day and decide that you are going to spend some of your hard earned goldfish and buy some sashimi to try and attract a rare cat. Well you check on the cats later on that day only to see that the food is gone and only regular cats have come by. All you can think is "Well, at least it wasn't Tubbs who ate all of the food.".
5. When You Finally Have Enough Gold Fish To Upgrade Your Yard.
This game is really entertaining and simple to understand. It's very easy to get hooked on it and find yourself checking it multiple times throughout the day. So go ahead and download Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector and start getting kitties. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
