Cozy gaming and the Switch go hand in hand. Get it? Because it's a handheld...anyway it's a great place to play cat games.
Searching "cats" in the Nintendo eShop will yield you tons of results, but which are the best games? The cats meow if you will.
Here, we've compiled the best cat games that the Switch has to offer.
This list will evolve, games are listed in no particular order.
The Best Cat Games on Switch
Calico
If your vibe is decorating cat cafes and hanging out with ALL of the adorable animals then run to Calico.
In Calico, you'll get to explore a lovely world filled with lovely characters. There are of course plenty of cats but other animals to add to your cafe.
The pastel world is easy to get swept up into. This is the perfect game to zone out and get cozy.
For fans of wiggly kitty physics.
Cat Quest + Cat Quest II
Cat Quest and its sequel are solid games for rpg fans. It combines an epic fantasy-based story with cats. Be the cat hero you've always wanted to be. (Don't worry, us too).
There is a third installment coming out in 2024, so now is the purrfect time to get caught up on the series.
If you want adventure with adorable heroes Cat Quest is a great addition to your Switch library.
For fans of LOOT.
Cat Cafe Manager
You've traveled to a new town to fix up the old cat cafe that's been vacant for some time. As you rebuild, a story of a town intertwined with the local cats unravels.
Cat Cafe Manager merges a building/decorating sim with business management for fun dopamine-filled gameplay.
The gameplay loop here was very satisfying as more and more progress was made and more decor items unlocked. I was sketching out design ideas for my playthrough.
For fans of cat-themed decor.
A Street Cat's Tale
This game is all about unlocking multiple endings and exploring possibilities. A Street Cat's Tale takes the point of view of a kitten living on the street trying to survive day to day.
You'll need to eat and watch out for cars while interacting with various humans and felines.
It was intriguing seeing the story of this world build as more and more characters were met. I was really rooting for my kitty.
A Street Cat's Tale 2 came out in June this year and was announced for Switch later in 2023.
For fans of pixel kitties and friendship.
Cattails
Survive the life of an outdoor cat in Cattails. The game entails survival gameplay with things like hunting and fighting off cats from neighboring factions.
I'm very keen on survival games so when that's combined with cats, I'm definitely sold. What sets this game apart though was the world-building through the characters.
In my playthrough, I wanted to befriend all of the cats and become the strongest to build the best life for everyone. The game has heart.
For fans of headcanon.
