The game consists of laying out food and toys in order to bring cats to the player's yard. However, cats don't show up when the game is in play; they only visit whenever the app is closed. If the player opens the app again while cats are present, they can watch the visiting cats play with the various laid-out toys and take photos of them. Once a cat leaves, it may leave a gift of fish, the game's currency. Fish come in two flavors: standard grey fish and special "gold fish", the latter of which [[BribingYourWayToVictory can also be bought with microtransactions]].
