We're sure you've noticed, but Stray launched yesterday, and it's been capturing hearts across the board. It turns out playing as a common pet appeals to a lot of people, especially those who already have a cat or two at home. The love for the game has put a jolly spin on the week, and then we discovered @CatsWatchStray.
This new Twitter account is dedicated to sharing images and videos of our feline friends checking out BlueTwelve's debut title. It's been retweeting some great clips and pics of cats enraptured by the onscreen mog, and even looking curiously at the DualSense controller as it meows to them. Some examples:
PlayStation's Greg Rice and his cat Dottie join the fun, too:
It's well worth a follow if you're a cat lover, or if you just want to see adorable things on your timeline.
Incidentally, this author has two cats, and not only reviewed Stray but also produced an extensive Stray guide, putting in considerable time with the game. Neither of them batted an eyelid the entire time.
Are you a cat parent playing Stray right now? Have they reacted in any way, or are they more like the above pair of sourpusses? Tell us in the comments section below.

> Cats Watching Stray Is Your New Favourite Twitter Account
Yes. Yes it is.
Haha. That's amazing.
Great game.
Loving the Twitter account lol
We've actually adopted 2 stray cats recently and one of them seemed so confused yesterday when the tv kept meowing at him π
It's amazing how this game has blown up all over social media and on steam as well.
I wonder if it would of achieved the same without playstations marketing, hopefully other indies will see this and want to partner with playstation
When people wasting thousands of hours watching cat videos first started I imagine scientists thought it would be a phase we would grow out of over time.
This just took humanity backwards (or possible forwards) by two decades.
We will never escape cat videos, because we donβt want to!
I was watching the gameranx before you buy and my dog kept barking at the screen. Stray gets the realism approval from my pooch.
It's like a Venn diagram with Cats, Videogames and Social Media, and Stray in the middle.
Its not just cats, my Labrador was transfixed when I was playing yesterday!
My dog sat and watched too! Seemed to very much enjoy it. Haha
Could it be that this game is leading cats astray, sorry I'll show myself out now. I am looking forward to playing it though!
Great twitter account! xD
I am super curious how my cat will react when I play it later. Although I definitely don't want him trying to scratch my OLED! xD
My dog was confused and stuck watching π€£
@UltimateOtaku91 It's literally cats on the internet. Did that actually need PlayStation marketing?
I might have to get this game just to entertain my 3 cats...
Lol cats are just funny to watch. As for this game, maybe one day.
One of our cats can't be fooled and isn't interested. Our other cat, well she is easily amused and will follow Stray around the screen, and rub up against the controller as I press the 'purr' buttonπ
Don't let your dogs break your TV.
My dog (shiba inu) has a lot of cat traits. I saw him pounce on a field mouse once and it glorious. Not so much for the mouse. He's also friendly with cats.
Finally had a quick play of Stray. It's definitely cool. I'm going to get the dog watching it at the weekend I think πππ
Stray was great, now all I want is DLC where I can play as a dog.
