This is the game, called cat (neko) collect (atsume). It's about collecting cats. Sadly, it's in Japanese, not English. It would be amazing if Google/YouTube decided to commit to Norway-style slow tv.
You could give Neko Atsume a try. The currency in the game is silver and golden fish and both can be earned through playing. The IAPs are to buy golden fish but they're not at all essential. There's also a 'daily password' section that lets you type in a code each day to get free fish.
It's from this Japanese cat game called Neko Atsume. You set out some cat food and cat toys and then cats from around the neighbourhood come and play with them. There's not much to it, but it's still pretty entertaining.
Neko Atsume is currently my girlfriend's obsession. Basically you lay out cat toys and food and attract cats to your house which you take pictures of. The cats also bring you fish which you use to buy better stuff and more rooms to fill with stuff.
I just sent her a link to Alpaca World.
I hope I hear from her again.
I'm playing Neko Atsume furiously since I saw it on BoingBoing a few weeks ago. It's a mostly passive game where you place food and items in your yard to attract stray cats.
You don't need to understand Japanese to play and it's possible to get all the cats without paying, just a little slower. If you're not in Japan, you need to use a VPN to make a Japanese Play Store account or just sideload the apk.

I use Forest to time my skincare steps (and to make me productive during the academic hours)!
Not AB/skincare related, but I love this little Japanese cat app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume&hl=en
Also, I love this little puzzle game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ustwo.monumentvalley&hl=en
>Where can I get a cat that don't shed alot, less maintenance and preferably one that does not poop?
The cat collecting game? My mom got me into that game.. Quite fun, actually. Anyone who hasn't played it should play it right now. :P
And apparently Neko Atsume is real life now...
A friend of mine swears by Neko Atsume, a Japanese cat collecting app that's been fully translated into English. You basically buy toys and food for cats who visit your yard, leave them out and if you return randomly, you may see the cats playing with toys and eating the food. Changing the toys and food can bring you new cats and there's even rare cats. Cats leave you fish as a reward when they're done and you can use that currency to buy more toys and more food. That's it.

I think Neko Atsume and Plant Nanny are pretty good at monetization. nothing annoying.
In Neko Atsume, you do in-app purchases if you're impatient. typical microtransaction.
In Plant Nanny, you can do a microtransaction to buy a large amount of seeds, or watch a video ad to collect a small amount of seeds.... which encourages the user to come back several times for the video ads.
Tell them absolutely not to spend the 99 cents, because that's not right. Here's links if you want to try sending them again:

On mobile (iOS & Android), Neko Atsume. Where you attract adorable stray kitty cats and just gawk at them, leave them toys to play with and food to eat. Most of my department at work is now obsessed. Because it's kitties...
Otherwise GW2 at the moment (I need to move into higher level fractals and stop being noob) and I need to make time to finish Borderlands Tell Tale Games. Yes, I hear it's amazing. Omg, why amn't I playing it now? Prepping for T'giving Day dinner and studying >_<
It's called Neko-atsume (play store link), very basic/ addicting game. It has very straight forward instructions. You basically decorate your backyards and cats come to play in it, then they rate your backyard and give you sardines so you can buy more upgrades to attract more cats!

Also I find it weird because on the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume the Current Version is listed as 1.12.1 and Updated "April 24, 2019". But shouldn't it be 1.13.0 if it updated not even a day ago?
si ya sabia que no valia, pero algoes algo jaja
empezo en japones y lo tradujeron porque mucha gente lo jugaba igual hace varios meses esta en ingles
Wee-ooh, wee-ooh! What's up peeps?
My most used apps would be the usual social media - Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat - and then Rewire, MyFitnessPal, YouTube, and BaconReader for Reddit, of course! I could never get the Reddit is Fun app to work for long periods of time, it would always end up getting screwed up.
EDIT: OH! OH! OH! I FORGOT MY NEWEST APP ADDITION! NEKO ATSUME! ALL THE KITTIES
Which version of Android are you using?
Did you install the game via the Play Store?
Did you manage to complete the tutorial when you first started the game?
Buy cat food and cat toys - place them on the environment and wait for cats to come eat and play. You can name the cats that visit, and take pictures of them individually or in full-screen / panorama shots.
Here's the play store link for Neko Atsume for those of you asking about it!
This is ridiculously me because I am so obsessed with Neko Atsume.
She could try Neko Atsume, it's a cat-collecting game.
I think its neko atsume
Hey there! I'm very sorry for your loss. If you'd like someone to talk to, I'm pretty good with this subject and I won't judge. I know it's hard when you're on your own. You're doing a lot of hard work right now and I'm proud of you, but please remember to take care of yourself too. <3 It doesn't have to be perfect. You're doing enough.
Here's my suggestions:
- Have some alone time. Read your favorite book, go for walks, watch the clouds move across the sky.
- Make sure you're getting enough sleep. Sleep is very important. This is in case you're having nightmares.
- Relax with things like tea and sleeping music.
- If you're having trouble figuring out what's wrong or you need help taking care of yourself, this is an interactive self-care guide that I love. Over time it's taught me how to recognize certain things my body is trying to tell me and how to cope better.
- If you need to get your thoughts out somewhere, especially if you want to see them visually and then disappear, visit The Quiet Place.
I've got a few links for you for cheering up! Here you go:
- This in-browser clock changes color over time, and it's really relaxing to watch.
- Gives Me Hope is a website of short, hopeful stories.
- If you have an Android phone, Neko Atsume is a calm, casual game where you leave toys in your yard and check in ocassionally to see cats visit!
- cute/pleasant/calming games
- A whole big list of games, books, recipes, hobbies, and more.

What about a category for idle games such as Neko Atsume, Tiny Bird Garden, Hungry Hearts where you don't need to play them for more than a minute or 2 at a time, then come back to them a couple of hours later? These 3 are free to play, no microtransactions, no nags to buy what little IAP they have which isn't necessary to progress or complete the games.

*virtual hug* Feeling down is the worst. I just came back from the dark side not too long ago myself. I hope things get better for you soon <3
Three free casual mobile games I'd recommend are Neko Atsume, DragonVale, and The Arcana.
So… *cough* I was gonna write a quick explainer thing about each app and I ended up writing quite a bit. *cough*
Neko Atsume
App Store / Google Play / Amazon
Neko Atsume is a very zen game about getting virtual kitties to visit your yard. It’s super cute. You put out toys for the cats to play with and they reward you with fish, which you can use to buy more toys for them to play with.
Features
- 30+ cats of all different colors
- name your kitties whatever you want
- 50+ toys to buy for the cats to play with
- in-game camera and photo albums to take/store pictures of the cats
- mechanic where each cat brings you a memento after it has visited enough times
- cute animations
- play offline
Cost
Free! No ads unless you choose to view one. You can spend real money to buy “gold fish”, but you earn gold fish playing the game and can convert regular fish to gold fish.
Time Investment
App still receives occasional updates a few times a year. No time-limited events so far. It’s very much go at your own pace. I checked the app 3-4 times a day for 5 minutes at my peak obsession.
DragonVale
App Store / Google Play / Amazon
DragonVale is a game about breeding dragons and decorating a massive floating dragon park.
Features
- 400+ uniquely animated dragons to collect
- have 21+ floating islands to build your park on
- decorate your park with paths, decorations, buildings for your visitors
- many events with limited-time dragons and prizes
- responsive developers who do listen to their players
Cost
Free! Like the Sims Freeplay, all actions take a certain amount of time to complete, and you can skip waiting by using gems, an in-game currency you can buy for real money. If you don’t pay for gems, the game is 100% free, and IMO that is very doable since you can earn gems in-game. I earn about 14ish gems a day.
Time Investment
It’s a slow burn. I usually play about 30 minutes a day, after doing my Neopets dailies. It’s not a game you can binge, since everything is tied to a timer. A lot of the fun is slowly building up your park over years. There are quite a few seasonal events, but everything returns, so don’t worry if you don’t get a limited thing right away.
Extra
If you start playing and are looking for an online fan-community, I’d highly recommend THE DragonVale Community Forums. Similar to our own subreddit, it’s a small, friendly, and older crowd (very often frequented by grandmas and grandpas). It even has its own cultural quirks… Koala!
The Arcana
O.K., so this is a choose-your-own-adventure fantasy mystery romance story. Really not sure if that’s what you’re looking for, but I’m enjoying it right now so I’ll recommend it anyway. You play as an apprentice magician / fortune teller. You choose your character’s name and gender. It’s not quite as corny as the screenshots on Google Play suggest!
Features
- three different characters to romance (with 3 more in the future, I hope)
- a decently interesting plot
- nice art and music
- virtual tarot card readings
Cost
Free! Some choices cost coins, however you can earn coins once a day from the app.
Time Investment
There is about 1-2 hours of content, depending on how fast you read.
Yessss, Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector. I love this game.
~~That's what he gets for shit posting.~~ Playing Neko Atsume
Here you go! It's on ios, too. So cute!
It was a parody of Neko Atsume.
I had in mind something like Neko Atsume, but with cute hybrid animals. Either way, good luck and do it smart :)
I don't think there's anything quite like AC on mobile, but here's some games I have enjoyed that might scratch similar itches?
Pet games/games where characters go off and do their own thing and you check back/care for them:
Neko Atsume (there are numerous imitators with other animals which are generally not very good, but they exist)
Kleptocats (a bit similar but more of a collection game)
Godville (fully hands-off observation game involving a questing hero)
These are less like AC but fun Japanese games if you like the others (you don't need to understand Japanese):
とりはんと (a bird catching game)
ねこめぐり (feeding feral cats)
ねこ畑 -ほっこり畑でねこ育成- (an odd cat growing game)
Kairosoft games might be more like the "village of characters doing their thing" type. There are many and they're all pretty good but some similar ones might be:
Dream House Days (you run an apartment building)
Pocket Arcade Story (you run an arcade)
Pocket Academy (you run a school)
Old news, this was in all the developer previews. It's a riff on Neko Atsume
Neko Atsume It's a cat collecting game. :3
Yay, I finally got here early. I'm almost done with Neko Atsume (cat collection)! It's in Japanese, but easy enough to navigate and there are tutorials available online. Another one I've been playing is Alphabear by Spry Fox, they made the PC game "Road Not Taken" too. Really cute mobile app, except you need to wait for pretty long periods of time to play levels (they cost honey).
Gifting: WL/stuff under ~5k! I'll be gifting gradually because it's always near midnight when I post on PIFF. ~~And I'm supposed to be finishing work, whoops.~~ Just woke up. Morning, people.
Seeking: Gallery WL as usual, also 5 Dubloon Coins! It's a mix of Chokato/Tigersquash/Smoothies/Ice Cream/Doughnuts/Chia Pops for the curious. Chokato/Tigersquash are priorities!
