• Cats make great pets; they're fun, playful and good companions. However, not everyone can adopt a cat thanks to allergies, house rules, even time constraints. The good news is, everyone can play computer games and experience cats in that way through the wide range of cat-inspired games available.
  
  

Virtual Cats

• Games like Kitten Tracks or Pure Felinity are online virtual cat games. Create an account on the gamesite, then begin adopting cats. There are hundreds of breeds available for you to care for. Feed, groom and play with your virtual cat. You can even name your cat, participate in virtual cat shows and enter your cat to win prizes. Breeding your cats creates purebred kittens or even entirely new species. You can also interact with other players on the site by chatting or selling cats to each other.
  
  

Mysteryville

You need to question the town's residents to gather information, and you'll meet some strange and interesting characters while you do so.

Super Granny

• In this series of games, adorably tough Super Granny is on a mission to save all the cats from the bad guy gnomes. This is an arcade-type of game, where you need to dig, tunnel, use your jackhammer, jump and climb your way to all the stranded cats. The cats are peppered throughout the game screen and cry to alert you of their presence and, once rescued, follow you to the end of the level. Super Granny offers a number of games including Super Granny 1 to 4, Super Granny Winter Wonderland and Super Granny in Paradise.
