Purrtopia

Purrtopia puts a pixel cat on your desktop, where it wanders above your windows while you work or study. You care for it, play together and watch it develop habits, preferences and a personality over time.

Your cat’s personality

Your cat remembers its favorite food, toy and spot on the screen. Its mood can change from playful to sleepy, or turn hurt if you ignore it for too long. Cats have their own routines: some love naps, some stay up at night, and some are always thinking about food. They dream, share thoughts in bubbles and behave differently according to their personalities.

Care helps shape your cat into a Night Owl, a Foodie, a Sleepyhead or another type, with each trait reflected in its behavior. Every cat is born with two quirks, such as watching the screen’s edge, guarding a toy or dancing more often. Each also dislikes one food until it gets used to it. Cats may sulk if woken or carried too much, stalk and pounce on toys, startle when the cursor flicks suddenly, and become livelier in the morning and evening.

Care and companionship

Your cat has four needs: food, water, sleep and love. Choose from dozens of meals and drinks, including kibble, chicken, fish, cake, milk and juice. Cats eat what they need and save the rest for later. Playing, brushing and everyday care build affection; when tired, a cat goes to bed and falls asleep. You can move a sleeping cat with its bed without waking it.

Pet your cat by holding the cursor over it and gently moving the mouse back and forth. Too much petting lets the cat show you it has had enough. Cats may scratch where they should not or leave a mess, so you sometimes need to clean up even if you provide a litter box and scratching post. Cleaning earns coins, like other acts of care.

Play and activities

Cats can chase a ball across the screen, track and swat at a feather wand, use a scratching post or enjoy a brushing. In the Cat Wheel, a cat runs and earns coins. The Wind-up Mouse starts a chase, while the Laser Pointer gives your cat a dot to hunt. The Desk Bell starts a rhythm minigame: your cat rings a tune and you tap the same rhythm back.

Customize your cat and home

Name your cat and choose its coat. Outfits cover five cosmetic slots: headwear, face decorations, collars, tail accessories and fur patterns. You can also customize the bowl, bed, scratching post, litter box, ball and wand, with dozens of designs for each item. Options include a race-car bed, palm-tree scratching post, neon lounger and glowing bowl; your cat chooses its favorite bed.

Gifts and shops

A happy cat may sometimes bring home a gift chest with coins, treats, rare outfits or, if you are lucky, an artifact. There are 16 artifacts across four rarities, each with a useful bonus; some trade a stronger benefit for a small drawback. You can equip up to four at once.

Feeding, playing, brushing and cleaning earn coins. Four shops sell food, home furnishings, cat outfits and interior decorations, with a large collection of items to save for.

Visit other players

Each cat has a permanent code you can share with another player to connect and visit. As a guest, you can settle in and try out what is around, while the host’s cat watches you with curiosity and remembers you. During a visit, you can pet your friend’s cat, let the cats play together, or have one run in the Cat Wheel while the other watches.

Keep up to three cats

You can have up to three cats at once, each with its own name, coat, wardrobe, habits and personality. Your cats visit one another, rub against each other and play chase.

Settings and achievements
