Some virtual-pet games rush you through feeding bars and bedtime alarms. My Little Cat takes the gentler approach: every interaction lasts as long as you want it to, every kitten has a personality, and the only failure state is a small frown that disappears the moment you pat her again. Below is the seven-step daily routine that keeps every cat happy from day one.
How to Care for Your My Little Cat in 7 Steps
The game opens with an empty cushion and an adoption window. Once your kitten arrives, the pacing of her day matters far more than the variety of toys you buy.
Step 1 — Welcome and Name Your Kitten
The naming screen sets her personality stat. Names ending in soft vowels (Mia, Lulu) bias toward calm; sharp names (Rex, Max) bias toward playful. Pick the one that matches the play style you want.
Step 2 — Set Up the Bowl Before Anything Else
Always place the food and water bowls within tap-reach of the cushion. My Little Cat tracks how often the kitten walks to her bowl; convenient placement keeps the mood meter high.
Step 3 — Brush Her Coat Daily
Brushing is short but matters. Five strokes a day prevents the fur-tangle alert that lowers cleanliness ratings.
Step 4 — Play With Two Different Toys
Cats bore quickly with a single toy. Alternate between the yarn ball and the feather wand within the same play session for the bonus enrichment star.
Step 5 — Feed at the Right Times
Two meals a day at gentle intervals. Overfeeding triggers a soft tummy animation that costs star ratings.
Step 6 — Train One New Trick a Week
Sit, paw, roll, fetch — each trick takes about three sessions to learn. Don't try to teach two tricks at once; My Little Cat penalises confusion.
Step 7 — Snuggle Before Bed
Five minutes of stroking before the lights dim refills the affection bar overnight, which means a happier kitten the next morning.

Tips for Higher Affection Scores
Three habits separate top players. They name the kitten on the first day rather than the second; un-named kittens lose mood. They never miss a brushing session, even for a single day. And they always stroke before they feed, not after — the order matters more than the quantity.
The simulation borrows gentle conventions from real cat care guides, which helps the game feel believable without becoming demanding.
