Funny Kitty Care

Overview

The game starts with a stray kitten that needs looking after. Your job is to take it through a full round of care, one step at a time. The story is simple and the tone is gentle: the kitten is in a bad way at the start and looks better with each step you complete.

The steps come from Poki's description: give the kitten a bath, treat its wounds, feed it treats, and finally dress it in outfits. Each step uses items laid out on screen. Nothing needs to be done quickly. The Poki page does not describe a timer, and the steps follow one another in a clear order.

The control is the same throughout. Click or tap an item to pick it up, then drag it onto the kitten to use it. A sponge, a bandage or a snack all work the same way, which keeps the game easy to follow even for small children. There are no keys to learn, which also makes it easy to play with one hand on a phone.

Poki files the game under simulators and lists it in the animals, cats, dress-up and beauty categories. The last part, choosing outfits, is where most of the choice lies. Because the steps build on each other, the finished kitten at the end feels like the result of your own care rather than a random prize.

Who will like it

Young players, cat lovers and anyone who likes dress-up and care games. The one-gesture control makes it a good first game on a tablet. It is also a gentle way to introduce a young child to touch controls: one gesture, clear results on screen and no other players involved.

• Poki is supported by advertising, so expect ads on its pages around the game.

• The game is short and simple; older players may finish what it offers quickly. There is not much reason to replay once the kitten is cared for and dressed.

• Poki lists the last update as March 2023, so it is the oldest update among the games on this site. Details may have changed since then; we report the date as Poki shows it.

Tips

• Drag items all the way onto the kitten; the item acts where you release it. If it snaps back, try releasing it closer to the kitten.

• Follow the order the game presents. Cleaning and treating come before treats and outfits. The game leads you from one step to the next, so there is no need to hunt for what comes after.

• On a tablet, playing with a finger feels closer to real care than using a mouse. Larger screens also make the small items easier to pick up.

• Spend your time on the outfit step if you enjoy dress-up; it is the part with the most options. Try different combinations of clothes; the outfits are the most open part of the game.

• For a young child, sit alongside for the first round and name each item as it is used. Let the child do the dragging while you point to what comes next.
