About this list:

In this list, we decided not to repeat games from the same franchise. Otherwise, it would be easy to include Cat Quest 1, 2, and 3, and who knows when it would stop?

It's also possible that not all of them are cats, but rather feline creatures or anthropomorphic humans with traits of larger cats. | © Pendulo Studios / Microids

10. The Purring Quest (2015)

**The Purring Quest** strikes a strange balance between somewhat serious visual design and funny, cartoon-like situations, but we definitely love this game about a little cat in the big city. It works as a platformer where you meet and rescue different cats. | © Valhalla Cats

9. Nine Noir Lives (2022)

The nightlife of these little hunters is the perfect setting for a life of cat burglars and detectives, and that's what **Nine Noir Lives** is all about. In this fantastic point-and-click adventure, you'll have to unravel a mystery by dealing with all kinds of puzzles, featuring a colorful cast of anthropomorphic characters that are as ridiculous as they are entertaining. | © Silvernode Studios

8. Kitaria Fables (2021)

There are few RPG games that let you play as a cat... with friends! **Kitaria Fables** is exactly that, and although it can be a bit grindy at times, it's perfect for getting into the podcast and play mood or trying out some action with friends. | © Twin Hearts / PQube

7. Gato Roboto (2019)

Is it a cat, or a robot? I’m not sure if **Gato Roboto** qualifies for this list, but even though it’s a short title, what it does offer is fantastic. The fluidity in the movements of this platformer makes it worth playing for veterans of the genre. Don’t let the monochromatic palette discourage you! | © Doinksoft / Devolver Digital

Blacksad Under the Skin — 6. Blacksad: Under the Skin (2019)

It’s hard to recommend **Blacksad: Under the Skin** considering the controls and camera are a bit janky, but if you’re a fan of detective stories (or even more importantly, the comic it’s based on), then you’ll love this game. Especially because it’s the kind of title where you have to make tough decisions along the way... | © Pendulo Studios / Microids

5. Rain World (2017)

Believe me, we're not cheating by adding **Rain World** to the list. The Steam page itself defines it as a slugcat! But what's important is how this game functions as a great ecosystem, where you're both hunter and prey. You'll have to flee from animals larger than you and survive the brutal natural world to find someone smaller than you to eat... | © Videocult

4. Cattails (2017)

Some people describe **Cattails** as Stardew Valley, but with cats, and honestly, that couldn’t be more accurate. If you like the latter, then you’ll love the former, with its mechanics of fighting, gathering herbs, socializing with other cats, getting married, and having kittens. And it even has a spin-off called Cattails: Wildwood Story, in case the first game isn’t enough! | © Falcon Development

3. Cat Quest II (2019)

I have to admit that Cat Quest is the kind of game that won my heart amidst a ton of cat puns. That’s right, pawrtner! And although, in essence, you’re a little adventuring cat going from town to town solving problems and upgrading your gear, the story has an unexpected twist. But I recommend **Cat Quest II** because it does everything the first game does, but better. Plus, now you can play cooperatively! | © The Gentlebros

2. Night in the Woods (2017)

What makes **Night in the Woods** win the hearts of so many indie game enjoyers lies in its story and characters. Seriously, the cast of different anthropomorphic animals is so well crafted that they feel like people you would meet in real life, and it doesn’t shy away from touching on deep topics that can be as funny as they are devastating. Oh, and of course, there’s also something in the woods... | © Infinite Fall

1. Stray (2022)

Is it any surprise that **Stray** is number 1? This game almost dethroned Elden Ring as Game of the Year, and while on the surface it might seem like a walking simulator designed to charm cat lovers, it’s actually much more than that. With brilliant visual design and a soundtrack, it becomes the number one piece of evidence that video games are not just entertainment, but also art. | © Annapurna Interactive

Kittens! Who doesn't love them? Just ask the entire internet, as they have been revered in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics as much as in social media memes. So much so that it's only natural to want to play as some type of feline. And although there are many video games that pay tribute to these little cats, few allow you to play as one. That's why we've decided to create a list of the best games where you can play as a cat! Or, at least, as a feline creature...
