Is ‘Stray’ the most popular game of all time with… cats?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard of the game Stray. In it, a stray cat works with a small drone known as B12 to make its way out of an abandoned city. The game follows the unlikely duo through adventures where they encounter threats, mysteries, and chance encounters.
Anyone who’s ever parented a cat knows they can be fickle & temperamental at the best of times. This third-person game allows players a chance to see the world through their eyes. It may even be the key to figuring out what makes this particular kind of fur baby so hard to understand.
Developed by BlueTwelve Studio, Stray was intended for a human audience and, so far, it’s been met with rave reviews. However, even cats are wild about this new video game! Well, they’re at least intrigued by why their humans love it enough to ignore them just to play it.
The cat’s meow
The only thing better than watching cats freak out over the game Stray is the hilarious moments they inspire. Just check out these furry reactions:

I’ve been playing a lot of Stray and I love it SO MUCH. My cat Totoro likes to watch me play and then he tries to catch the cat on the screen. pic.twitter.com/XPyuJWQHB3

Either way, this may become a familiar sight for many cat parents
