Computer Game Let's You Become a Garden Cat

Sure, you love gardens and you love cats, and naturally you love garden cats, but have you ever fantasized about being one? Well, a new video game let's you do just that!

"Peace Island" is played from the cat's perspective and is "an open-world adventure game about cats on a remote Maine Island." The point is for the cats to work together to solve the mystery of the missing humans. From what I previewed so far the cats and the flora are wonderfully rendered and are painstakingly accurate.

Let Sleeping Cats Lie

A new game called Cottage Garden came out this year and I was amused to see the game includes both garden building skills and sleeping cat tokens.

According to this review, "You score by completing flower beds, six-by-six grids each strewn with a random scattering of flower pots and glass planters that must be kept visible as you place flowers and watering cans around them. The pieces are sumptuously watercolored by Andrea Boekhoff, and the art makes it a pleasure to fit everything together. Undoubtedly, though, the best part is using tokens representing sleeping cats to fill in the last few spaces just in case, as often happens, you can’t quite fit any of the shapes. More games—perhaps every single game?—should feature cat tokens."

Santa, you know this is on my Christmas list!
