Sometimes it works as expected and others it just doesn't. When the cat has many hearts and an item discovered, it's supposed to be easier to discover the fantastic behavior. But during catnip sales it doesn't work at all anymore. Suddenly I have a 30/30 friendship with a cat who's with the item on his list undiscovered and been there many times, but even if I give 4 catnips and waste it all on him it will not get discovered at all. I'm stuck... the game doesn't want to move forward anymore. ### 3/5 — Money mechanics get old, and old men *2023-01-25, version 2.3.76* I really really wanted to continue enjoying this game. Unfortunately, after several months of gaming this becomes a pay-to-play game. A lack of playability occurs when you are all out of gold coin items to purchase, and you are made to strategically grind for dazzle coins or cave in and purchase them. You can use your gold to gamble for dazzle coins with the cat box purchases, but you rarely get a hit. The trading system only goes from dazzle to gold, no inverse, and the maxed out 3,997 daily gold cap occurs about a month into playing. You gain nothing from new “subscribers” beyond this cap. I did some math, and let’s say if you’re lucky in your dazzle coin grind, you can get an item every week. I have 74 more items to get, and I don’t want to spend a whole year or more after I spent 6 months already. I’m sorry to go, it was a cute game but the dopamine hits are probably worse for my mental health and attention span anyway, as well as the echo chamber of the chat function. There’s real people on there that need help, and most of us others who play are not therapists by any stretch of the imagination. Sweethearts, go talk to people that care about you. Also, weird age gaps and middle aged men are on this game, and you can direct message people, so flag warning? The only thing I regret, is not getting the last cat. ### 5/5 — 너무 재밌는데요 *2022-06-26* 21년 11월부터 신비한 고양이 사전 재밌게 하고 있는 유저입니다.. 고양이 울음소리랑 신비한 행동 너무 귀여워요. 그런데 고양이들이 '뒷집 집사가 아픈것 같아서 슬퍼' 이런식으로 질문하고 '너네도 아프지마'이런 식으로 냥이들한테 답을 해 줬는데요. 다음날 '하루의 시작은 너와 함께야.' 라고 엉뚱한 답이 와요 ㅠㅠ 한번 고쳐 주실수 있나요? ### 3/5 — Looks pretty but that’s it *2022-06-04, version 2.3.75* The visual design is very nice, but the core mechanic of this game is watching ads. It also frequently fails to log the fantastic behaviours. ### 5/5 — Cute *2022-03-16, version 2.3.75* Cute ### 5/5 — Careful *2022-03-03, version 2.3.75* Omg be careful! Somebody call a doctor! I think I might die of seeing to much cutenesses!! ### 5/5 — 업데이트 *2021-12-09* 이제 안해주시나요?? ㅜㅜ ### 5/5 — 업데이트 기다리다 목 빠짐 *2021-11-19* 고인물이라 할 게 없어요 업데이트 해주세요 ㅠㅠ ### 4/5 — Why no updates? *2021-10-31, version 2.3.75* No new cats or treats in a very long time!!! ### 5/5 — 게임 열심히 하고 있는데요. 업데이트는 언제 될까요? *2021-10-08* 새로운 장난감이랑 고양이 업데이트좀 해주세요^^ ### 4/5 — 업데이트 *2021-09-26* 언제 되나요? 기존고양이 왕관 다써서 새로운 고양이 기다리는데 한달넘게 소식이 없네요 ㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — 쪽지 차단 기능 좀 만들어 주세요 *2021-09-12* 다른 사람으로부터 오는 대화 요청이나 쪽지를 차단할 수 있는 기능이 있었으면 합니다. 모르는 사람으로부터 무턱대고 비꼬는 반말 쪽지를 받았는데 정말 불쾌했습니다. 저야 반말 멘션 정도지만 성희롱성 발언을 받았을 경우에는 정신적 충격과 피해가 더 클 것 같습니다. 그런 쪽지 받고 나서 신고 후 차단할 수 있는 방법도 필요하지만 아예 처음부터 쪽지를 차단할 수 있는 기능도 필요하다고 봅니다. ### 5/5 — Adorable *2021-08-23, version 2.3.75* This game is a lot like Neko Atsume and I love it! The sprites for the cats are adorable and I really like the blog feature! ### 5/5 — yes. *2021-08-04, version 2.3.73* I like the premise very much, and the execution of that idea is perfect. Not requiring too much play, and being so fun. Also it’s just all-around a cute game :) ### 3/5 — Looks nice, but needs more stuff to do *2021-07-13, version 2.3.72* Graphics are great. It copies Neko-Atsume, but adds an extra bit of polish to make it stand out without losing the charming look. Gameplay-wise though, it is very slow. Cats don’t leave enough money after visits, even if you watch ads to increase the amount you get. More daily tasks would help. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Complete rip-off of Neko Atsume: Kitty collector *2023-06-17, version 2.3.76* They didn’t even bother to try to make the cats look different. It’s almost a carbon copy of Neko Atsume, except that you have to spend money almost immediately in order to proceed. I highly recommend Neko Atsume! The cats are adorable and you can spend or not spend money and still enjoy the game. ### 1/5 — прогресс не сохраняется *2023-01-19, version 2.3.76* Я привязала аккаунт через Game Centre, но каждый раз, когда я захожу в игру, она начинается сначала. Всё пропадает, вообще всё((( Что делать? ### 1/5 — Can't open it! *2020-10-26, version 2.3.35* After the recent update, I can't open the game. Please fix the bug😭 ### 1/5 — Crashes everytime after watch an AD *2020-06-09, version 2.3.19* Happened on both my iPhone and iPad. Please fix it. ### 2/5 — Cute but impossible game *2020-08-06, version 2.3.28* Same concept as Neko Atsume where you place a bunch of toys and cats come visit you. Except Neko Atsume is much more reasonable. Cats give you 50-100 coins depending on your willingness to watch ads. But not all cats give coins and you can only get up to 3 gifts while you’re away. I’ve been playing this game for couple days and I didnt make much progress since the first day because I don’t have enough coins. You need thousands of coins to buy 1 item. Unless you’re playing this game 24/7 without sleep, you can’t afford anything. Purple coins are even more rare. You need 2000 purple coins to expand your area and that costs $20 or be willing to save up for like 100 days and watch thousands of ads. I’m not opposed to paying real money for a game but this is just insane. I gave two stars just because the general aesthetic of the game is really cute and pretty but I honestly don’t see myself playing this game long term. 2 days in and I’m already bored because the progress is painfully slow. Maybe have couple mini games where you can earn extra coins?? ### 2/5 — Familiar *2019-11-08, version 2.2.9* Gives me heavy Neko Atsume vibes.. ### 2/5 — 개인적으로.. *2019-11-02* 갤러리에 사진이 저장되어야 신비한행동 수집 갯수로 수집되는거는 좀 너무 합니다.. 컨텐츠는 부족한데 이런 제한만 많으면 어떡합니까...? **Developer response:** 안녕하세요. 신비한 고양이 사전입니다. 앨범의 메모리 제한 때문에 불편함을 느끼신 것 같아 너무나 죄송합니다. 앨범 우측 하단에 있는 메모리 확장을 통해 추가적인 사진 수집이 가능하지만 초반에 답답함을 느끼시는 부분에 대해서는 내부에서 인지하고 있습니다. 더욱 고민하여 불편함이 해소될 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다. 감사합니다. ### 3/5 — Fun game but gets slow. *2025-04-02, version 2.3.76* Very enjoyable! I loved all the cats and even let some of friends name a few. Proud to say I collected them all, and wish I could say I got all their talents. The first ~4 months I started there was something new to get and a new cat to see! But after I gotten all their talents gold items the game slowed extremely. I left it alone for a couple of months thinking something would change but unfortunately it did not. I will not spend money on this game, as cute as it, for dazzle coins. I’m use to grind-y games, so that I don’t mind—but only if there was more give. When you get far along, you only really get dazzle coins from the watching ad box and that is NOT consistent enough to finish the grind in a reasonable time. I definitely recommend this game, but once you buy all the gold items I say it’s time to say you’ve pretty much finished the game. ### 3/5 — boring but cute *2024-05-28, version 2.3.76* This game is really cute but it takes forever to get coins and move up which makes me not want to play this game that much. ### 3/5 — Frustrating boxes! *2023-12-06, version 2.3.76* I generally enjoy this game and have been playing for awhile, but the repeated instances of not being able to even watch an ad (as much as I hate them) to get a coin reward are incredibly frustrating. It just slows everything to a grinding stop and I’m not convinced it’s worth it to keep visiting the app just to change the food and collect what little has been left. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So cute! *2026-07-22, version 2.3.76* FOLLOW ME ON AHA world ! AHA ID : YNBN4F MY AHA NAME : MangoAHA Please follow me I post daily! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-04-28, version 2.3.76* This is the best game ever created it’s so fun ### 5/5 — Please give more tasks *2026-04-02, version 2.3.76* The game is really cute but I wish to have more tasks more objects, etc. to make it less têptitive ### 5/5 — Omgggg *2025-12-05, version 2.3.76* I love this game SO MUCH! The cats are so cute, but it’s a little annoying how there isn’t much to do sometimes, but it IS a great time killer. If you are thinking about getting this game but aren’t sure, GET IT, I promise you won’t regret downloading this puuurrrfect game :3 ### 5/5 — LIFE CHANGING *2025-10-12, version 2.3.76* I was gay and non-binary and my family all left me until i installed fantastic cats. I thought life had no meaning and i thought i was going to die, but the moment i saw those adorable cats, i knew there was a meaning. I texted my mom, 'look at this adorable cat i found in fantastic cats!' and she said 'stop contacting me i left you for a reason.' ... I mean the cat was still good. And cute BEST GAME EVER!!!! My mom is dead btw she died for cancer. ### 5/5 — 추억의 고양이 게임 *2025-02-27* 12년간 함께한 첫 고양이를 별로 보내고 슬퍼하다가 다시 다운로드 하게되었어요. 10여년 전..?에도?? 재밌게했던 게임인데 요즘은 더 힐링하는 마음으로 하고있어요. 업데이트가 2년전에 멈추었던데ㅠ 이벤트나 재밌는 요소들이 더 생기면 좋겠어요. 이미 귀여운 고양이들 보는 것만으로도 힐링이지만! 특히 제 고양이와 이름이 같은 친구는 애정이 더 가요. 닮은 친구는 없지만 ㅎㅎ 소소한 행복을 주는 고양이들이 큰 위로가 되어줘서 감사해요 ### 5/5 — So cute! *2025-02-08, version 2.3.76* This game is very cute and fun. But I don’t like the fact that you can talk to people it’s okay with talking with the cats but not random strangers. Other than that the game is pretty fun. Like I said it’s a good fun game. ### 5/5 — 업데이트 이후 오류있습니다~~ *2024-02-19* 최근에 업데이트 하고나서 고양이커뮤니티 들어가면 소셜 데이터를 불러오고있습니다 로딩중인 그 화면에서 넘어가질않네요 몇일째 로딩중입니다 그래서 다즐을 못얻고있네요ㅠ 오류 수정 부탁드립니다!!!! 그리고 다즐을 얻을수있는 다양한방법이 있었으면 더 좋을것같아요 아니면 새로운 무언가 업데이트가 되었으면하네요 ### 5/5 — So cute and so relaxing *2023-02-06, version 2.3.76* Everything in this game is so cute! Especially the cats! They make me smile. Thank you! :) ### 5/5 — Cats! *2022-11-05, version 2.3.76* I love it so much!
