Pet the cat
Pico8's most accurate cat petting simulator just got another small update! Mouse support!
This allows for even more unmatched real cat feel!
Get settled with a kittie that is all yours to enjoy.
features:
- A wide variety of cute kitties
- Very acccurate cat behaviour modelled after real life cats
- A disembodied hand for you to pet the kittie
- The disembodied hand now comes with mouse support
- Real cat feel
- Thanks to mouse support even more real cat feel
- Nice looking background wallpaper
- Ultra realistic cat sounds (now includes purring)
- Lots of scritches
- Allergen free
- Even though it may want to, it cannot scratch or bite you (though it may hiss)
- Unlike its real life counterpart, this kittie cannot escape you.
- Did I mention the realistic cat behaviour?
- Spicy kittie behaviour when annoyed
- real purring
- Hissing can be turned off in the menu
- It is hard to escape from the cat (your mouse is trapped)
Some hints on getting to enjoy a nice purr:
Like real cats, petting against the grain is not recommended, but head scratches reliably are!

The simulated digital meows and noodle-like petting physics are surprisingly entertaining. Nice job! 🙂
I love this it's so cool. It really feels like im petting the cat

@Verb obviously this is how you do it.
your comment was hilarious by the way.
I am also working on a version with a bit more fleshed out animations
Hold on, I was not expecting to see my kitty on the featured page.
Is this even real or am I dreamnig?
@KINGSGUARDGAMES I did consider adding purring at some point, but at the time I failed to create a pleasant sounding purr and kind of gave up on it.
I gave it another try yesterday after reading your comment and finally landed on a result I am happy with.
I will probably release the updated cart somewhere this week or next week.
All it needs now is some balance checks. I want people to have to put in some effort, but obviously not make it overly hard (at least not for most kitties, they aren't all the same after all).
@Doriencey wow looking forward to the update 😊 best cat petting game ever! Getting a good purr going is a fun target for the stroker 😁
good game and finally the game is about cats not about dogs
So cute! Being able to use the dev mouse would be a good addition in the next version if you ever make another, I think.
I have my own two cats, so this game was really fun to play! :)
@pik Late answer, but i'm working on the mouse support issue.
It's a pain to get working, but I somewhat managed.
I only need to figure out how to fully reset the position when resetting the cart. Now it jumps to the last mouse position, which can be annoying.
So if you happen to have some experience with adding mouse support, let me know!
@Doriencey
>> Now it jumps to the last mouse position, which can be annoying.
How about using mouse pointer lock?
(You want the y coordinate of the hand to be 0 when you start/reset your cart, right?)
The mouse pointer and x and y coordinates need to be asynchronous.
I've created a sample cart for now.
@shiftalow thank you so much for the sample cart. Now the cat is even better
(assuming I haven't accidentely added a major bug, guess we'll find out eventually)
Nice! 🐈️
I can pet my cat without any problems!
Thanks to the mouse operation, it's great that I can do it even more with the feeling of my own hands.
