Aww this is so cute! I found it hard to control with my mouse on the default itch resolution, but in fullscreen it was easier! When clicking on the fullscreen button, the screen is completely gray until I click, but the game works normally after that. I really like the art style and the music, and I love how fluid the cats are. I was able to beat the game in about 10 tries, I found it hard to do some of the 3-cat levels with the time given. Awesome job!

Very nice game. Nice little game where the controls are just the right amount of wonky. I don't know if this was your intention but the graphics reminds me of cats moving into the sunlight where it is warm.

I did not see the twist of multiple cats coming!
I love the cat physics when you drag him its so funny.

This was a really good entry I'm a big fan.

I'm not a cat person (I know). But god this is really cute. And stupid, but mostly cute. Great cat physic, difficulty is well balanced, one of my favourite entry so far!
Well done:)

This is precious.

A game with a cat is inherently good but with several cats ? Of different colours ? And you can grab them ? It's awesome. Had to go through some trial and error to grasp the subtility of the "you can leave a bit of tail outside it won't hurt the cat", but I really had fun playing this game.

The physics is hilarious and made me think of the sticky men toys i used to play with when I was a child.

Congrats on the game :)

Nice one! Very cute :) Can cats really sleep when being dragged like thаt? :)))) The idea is new and great, liked a lot :))

This is such a cute game. Wonderful! I like the stretching and curling and moving and rolling of the cats. So adorable. Wonderful how you turned this kind of cat dragging into a little puzzle/dexterity game. :-) <3

I love it!!! It feels just like trying to move cats when they are lazy or don't want to be moved. The main mechanic was done really well. The art is also very nice. Great work :)

I love the feeling of dragging cat body, how they are stretched like marshmallow. And I also love the shadow from the ceiling because it is hard to see where it will fall without the hint from shadow.

Excellent replayable mechanic! The physics/animation constraints of the cats when moved is balanced well so you sense you are really dragging them (even if they really just want to stay where they are :smile:) but they do not get uncomfortably overstretched. Great soundtrack/effects and you nailed the facial expression, super job!

The squishy cats feel so good! I love the idea that when cats seek out the tiny spot of sunlight on the floor and sit in it, they're playing this game in their heads.

The stretchiness of the cats is incredibly satisfying to play with! Really like the gameplay, having to quickly throw the cats into the safe spots was really interesting. Graphics and music are also adorable and fit together so well, Brilliant game!

Adorable! I love it, my favourite in this jam so far!
I felt a bit bad for cats while dragging them that way, they seemed to be uncomfrotable ^__^"
But it was fun, like playing with slime toys.

I loved this! Took a while to get used to it -- had to get a real mouse to control the cats accurately (although a touchscreen was quite fun! This could work nicely as a mobile game.)

Would definitely be keen to play an extended version with a few more mechanics / levels!
