April/Meow: Not Without My Cat

While looking through past themes, I noticed we had a dog theme a while ago, so I thought, why not a cat theme? After all, cats are one of the most popular kinds of animals on the internet – there are so many games dedicated to them, and many more featuring cats in some capacity. So this month, it's all about our feline friends, in whichever size you prefer. Whether you want to play as a cat (Stray, Nine Sols, Little Kitty, Big City), find cats (Neko Odyssey, the Full of Cats series), take care of cats (The Sims, any zoo sim), explore a world with your cat companion (Planet of Lana), or create (?!) cats (Mewgenics), I'm sure you'll find something in your library that fits the theme!

(No, I did not thoroughly check whether we already did a cat theme. And even if we did, it's been long enough since then, you've 100% already added more games with cats to your backlogs, you'll find something to play!)

FAQ

No, as with every theme, these are merely suggestions for anyone who is unsure about what to play next. If you already have a battle plan for your backlog and/or don’t like this month’s theme, you’re free to ignore it.

What happens if I don’t participate in the theme?
Nothing.

What happens if I play all of my unfinished games before the theme is over?

I don’t have any unfinished games - I’ve beaten everything I’ve started.
Really? well that makes one of us… I salute you.

I already finished my entry can I play another?
Go ahead - the goal is to reduce your unfinished games list. The more you can play the better.

Oh, this is a fun theme for me to start on! Made a list. And I’ll probably be pulling out some “Cat Detective” games for PAGYWOSG too.

Hello and thanks for this new theme ! I’m late this month, so let’s take it slow.

Cat Quest III 30/30 HLTB : 8h Time played : 9,7h Completed (14/04/2026)
New Heights 33/53 HLTB : unknown Time played : 21h Mostly beaten (21/04/2026)
Love is… 14/31 HLTB : 4,5h Time played : 2,3h Unfinished

edit 14/04/2026 : Cat quest 3 completed following a guide. Too much fedex but still extremely cute.
edit 21/04/2026 : Here i stop New Heights, not fully completed but mostly beaten. The concept is brilliant, one controller button for each hand/foot. It plays very well. Unfortunately the game is still full of bugs : achievements not triggering, roads starts in the void, collision bugs. Well i still found all the cats (including the one where the achievement didn’t trigger) and had sometimes some good fun.

Ok, I am late but want to jump in anyway! I will try to keep this brief since April is already almost half over. Probably ambitious, especially with my last game, but whatever!
