This July with the launch of Stray, we watched as the PlayStation community fell in love with the BlueTwelve Studio\u2019s realistic feline hero. But it wasn\u2019t just gamers entranced by the cat physics and \u2018Press Square to Meow\u2019 technology \u2013 your pets were loving it too! Across social media we\u2019ve seen the real life reactions as cats and dogs alike ran up to the screen wondering how that very real-looking cat got in there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u266c original sound \u2013 Hi<\/a>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Given the excitement, we reached out to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) to see how we could turn player support for this beloved cat indie game into support for real pets in need. Alongside a $25,000 donation to the organization, we\u2019d like to create a digital photobook of your pets sharing their love for Stray.<\/p>\n

With that, we\u2019re pleased to announce a new social media initiative called Stray Reactions<\/strong>. Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n

How to Participate<\/h2>\n

Starting today through September 23, 2022, players just share photos or videos of your cat, dog, or other pet reacting or posing next to Stray gameplay on PlayStation on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #StrayReactions<\/strong>.*<\/p>\n

At the end of that submission window, we\u2019ll select our favorite inquisitive kitty videos and tail-wagging photos into a digital photobook to present to the ASPCA alongside a $25,000 donation. We\u2019ll also be including some of the posts into a sizzle reel that we will share on our blog and social channels.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that simple! We can\u2019t wait to see your pets playing Stray alongside you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to learn more about the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and their services, you can find them at aspca.org<\/a> or contact information here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
