Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector (Japanese: ねこあつめ, "Cat Collection") is a mobile cat-collecting game developed by Hit-Point Co., Ltd. for iOS and Android, released on October 20, 2014.

The player can watch cats interact with objects, take photos of them which can be saved in an album, and receive gifts of fish and mementos from them.

Players can also enter a daily password to receive a random amount of silver or gold fish.

Players have the option to remodel their yard to one of seven different styles: Original, Zen, Rustic, Modern, Western, Sugary, or Cafe.

Many of the rare cats in the English version of the game are named after famous people, both fictional and non-fictional, with the names of the cats being puns, like Lady Meow Meow (Lady Gaga), Mr. Meowgi (Mr. Miyagi), Chairman Meow (Chairman Mao), Guy Furry (Guy Fieri), Saint Purrtrick (Saint Patrick), Xerxes IX (Xerxes I), Hermeowne (Hermione Granger), Billy the Kitten (Billy the Kid), Bengel Jack (Calico Jack), and Joe DiMeowgio (Joe DiMaggio, complete with megaphone[9] and baseball).

"[11] Originally, it was software for players who like cats to just watch and enjoy, and could be completed in 2–3 weeks for free.

[12] Takazaki says, "We're not going to put cheats or complexity in it, and we would like to pursue a game that can be enjoyed with only simple operations.

"[12] On October 30, 2015, an English version of the game, titled Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector, was released on the Android and iOS app stores.

[26][27][28] In February 2016, Petio Corporation released toys for the game, designed to be played with by real cats.

[32] The plot is mainly about a novelist struggling with writer's block, who moves to a small house in the country that turns out to be a cat magnet.

As he furnishes his yard with items to make their lives more comfortable and starts working at the local shop, his capacity to write begins to revive itself.
