Pocket Gamer:
Now you too can live out your dreams as the neighbourhood crazy cat lady thanks to ngmoco and developer Stumptown Game Machine's Touch Pets: Cats.
It's a follow up too predictable to believe, too unlikely to comprehend, and so rife with potential naughty jokes that making it through a full preview is an exercise in self-control. Yet there's more to Touch Pets: Cats than these components.
Commercials featuring abused animals get us every time. We could have the most incredible day, and the second one of those 30 second spots comes on TV, we'll start blubbering. Bottom line, no animal deserves that sort of treatment.

TouchArcade:
Not simply a reissue TouchPets: Dogs – but with cats — the upcoming title takes a different approach to the virtual pet experience in a number of areas. Perhaps most notably, the feed-to-play mechanic of the earlier title is gone, so you need not feed your pet every time you want a few minutes of playtime. In its place is catnip, which can be used to jack your cat up in order to get it to perform certain actions, like collecting coins from the sofa cushions, in order to further the game.
With the success of last year’s Touch Pets Dogs and their recent acquisition of series developer Stumptown Game Machine, it was only a matter of time until ngmoco pulled back the curtain and revealed their inevitable pet-loving sequel. If you’re looking for a cut and paste experience from their previous game, however, it looks like you’re barking up the wrong tree.
