Play Catz : Your Virtual Petz Palz Online

I picked up Catz: Your Virtual Petz Palz for the Game Boy Color back in 1999. It was from PF Magic, a company that made a few of these virtual pet games. On a system filled with platformers and RPGs, this was a quieter kind of game, one you could just carry around in your pocket.

You don't control a cat directly. Instead, you manage its environment and care for its needs. Your main goal is to keep your cat happy and healthy. You do this by feeding it, playing with it using a selection of toys, and cleaning up after any messes it makes. The cat has its own personality and will wander the screen, napping, playing, or getting into trouble. The pacing is slow and deliberate; it's a game about patience and routine rather than action. Playing it feels like having a low maintenance, digital companion that relies on you.
