IDK WHY I WAS HAVING SUCH A HARD TIME.. BUT THE ENDING MADE IT SO WORTH IT💜
Game give me idea that how i spent my day with my cat Hugo. Since i adopted him at 7 months, my life changed for all the better, my Hugo teach me how to be better human.
Thank you everyone behind the game.
Played this and the dog game. I have my own cats and definitely have a soft spot for cats. Enjoyed the game.
Just as creepy and unsettling as Take Care Of The Dog! Loved playing through this one RIP your cute kitty.
who turned on the fireplace???
I like it! Just saying me "Press Shift to run" when i die to big guy was a time waste but anways
Legendary! Loved it!
fiz minha parte morrendo de medo

I really loved playing this game. The images used sent very good feeling of that scare you wanted us to feel.
I also loved the mutated versions of the animals.
All in all 5/5 starts.
Also about the beautiful sentence you wrote at the end of your game, I really agree with you.
I hope you didn't mean it about your cat, I hope your cat is safe and healthy. I lost my dog, I know the feeling of losing a loved pet.
Hope all the best for you 🦇🍳
My recording messed up again huhu
This game was really fun, short and sweet. I had a great time gave me quite a bit of chills while playing. Keep up the great work!
I played bodinhe's previous game, TAKE CARE OF THE DOG, and I honestly thought the developer couldn't make something more eerie and unsettling. Well, I was wrong. The dev cooked once again with TAKE CARE OF THE CAT.
This game is even more eerie and unsettling, with some genuinely horrifying designs that had me internally screaming and panicking. I really love this developer's unique style, and it feels very different from the other short horror games I've played.
I'd give this game a solid 7 out of 10 sticks!
GAMEPLAY (The game starts at 28:48)
Muy buen juego, lo recomiendo muchísimo, me gusto un montón.
Nice game and homage to everyone who lost a pet. I really enjoyed it. Keep it up.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont
A really good game, I played Take Care Of The Dog and I think This has the same style but It manages to be original even with the same objective. Really scary too, congrats!
Ps: I´m spanish, that´s why the video is in Spanish
the game wouldn't open for me idk why :((
Thank you so much for this beautiful game, it made my day. Really thanks!
And sorry about your black cat... Hope you meet him/her in heaven someday...
The game has no sound for me. No idea why. I reinstalled the game, restarted my computer, all that.
Maybe you are missing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable v14 (for Visual Studio 2017–2026)
Honestly W game, very cool concept a dog taking care of a cat
Hey bodinhe! I’m ElHeldo, a Brazilian YouTuber who makes horror gaming content, especially indie, psychological and weird horror games.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the way TAKE CARE OF THE CAT slowly goes from cute and cozy to genuinely unsettling. 🐱🐶
On my channel, I like to play these kinds of strange horror games with a lot of reactions, humor, theories and storytelling, trying to make the gameplay feel like an actual experience rather than just a playthrough.
I made a video about your game and would love for you to check it out if you have the time! ❤️
Keep making these awesome and weird games — I’m definitely looking forward to what you create next!
Such an awesome and unsettling experience! The atmosphere was spot on, and going from cute to terrifying worked so well. As a new gaming content creator from Brazil, I had an absolute blast recording this for my channel. Hope your arm feels fully recovered soon, keep up the amazing work! 🐶🐱
I enjoyed this one. Good spooky atmosphere, on the odd side, and strangely heartwarming.
Game got so scary it even made me bark to improve my gameplay.
dude..
