Overview

In Cat Lady, you're competing to become the most esteemed feline caretaker by drafting cards and carefully managing your resources. Each turn, you'll select a row of cards from a grid, hoping to snag adorable cats, tasty food to keep them happy, playful toys, delightful costumes, and potent catnip. The challenge lies in balancing your desires: acquiring enough cats to score points, but also securing enough food to avoid penalties for hungry kitties.

The game's quick 20-minute playtime makes it easy to jump into, offering a light and engaging experience. You'll find yourself constantly evaluating the card grid, weighing the immediate benefits of each row against the long-term needs of your growing cat family. Will you take the risk of grabbing that extra cat, knowing you might struggle to find enough tuna later? The choices are yours, and the player who best anticipates the needs of their feline companions will emerge as the ultimate Cat Lady.
