Video game about cats Stray<\/a> is predictably a very popular video game among people who like cats. (It’s also pretty objectively successful, being publisher Annapurna’s biggest launch ever.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

It is so popular, in fact, that Twitter account @CatsWatchStray<\/a> now exists, purely to catalogue people posting their cats watching the cat on screen in the video game. Cats, being as they are, obviously take interest in the new cat-like thing that lives inside the monitor on your PC or TV on your wall. As of writing, the account has racked up nearly 32,000 followers.<\/p>\n

This is as opposed to my dog, which just goes berserk when it hears the cats on the TV meowing. Actually, someone posted their dog going berserk<\/a> at the on-screen cat too.<\/p>\n

I am a particularly big fan of this one, where the cat gently paws at the screen.<\/p>\n

Or this, where the cat hears a cat-screech and is very intrigued.<\/p>\n

Now that the game is out I can share the uncropped (and therefore better quality) version of my cat reacting to #Stray. I had my notes right next to me, hence the crop. But here’s Nacho reacting to the cat and its noises while playing \ud83d\ude02#catswatchingStray pic.twitter.com\/aA4b5y6EYfJuly 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway I could do this all day, by this, I mean just find and post more videos of cats watching digital cats. It’s very good. Here are a few more, but you can find a boatload more than that on the @CatsWatchStray<\/a> Twitter account or on the tag #catswatchingStray<\/a>.<\/p>\n
