Of course, to get some of the rarer cats to come to your place though, you'll need to figure out which item or combination of items will do the trick and provide to be irresistable to these elusive cats.
Interestingly, aside from watching the cats frolick around in your yard, you can even create a cat photo album and save them as wallpaper for your mobile device! So, if cats are your thing, you might want to check this game out. It's fun, relaxing and well, you get to collect cats!
Viridi
Viridi has been hailed as one of the most relaxing game on Steam, though the game is now available on both Android and iOS now as well. How can you relax by playing this game? Well, Viridi is basically a plant simulator; a safe haven where you can patiently take care of a large pot of plants that are often arranged decoratively to resemble something you might see in a terrarium. The game is not intended to be played in long periods of time. Just like a real life plant, you simply need to check in once a day or so, water and maybe fertilize it, and leave it to grow at its own pace. If you do a good job of caring for your plant, it might even flower for you (as long as it's a flowering plant)!Viridi is a limited free-to-play game which makes it more of a free-to-try. There are some free plants you can play around with for free, but if you want to really get into the game, there is an assortment of different plants in the in-game nursery that you can buy with real money. You can also get a free seedling every week.
