October 27, 2026
What's new in 1.15 • Village camera (Strays Plus): snap your village just as it looks on screen, day, night or in the rain. Photos go into a new album on the My Cats tab. Works in friends' villages too! • Delete cat photos: tidy up a cat's photos and free up space for new ones. • Pick a profile photo for each cat: show off the pixel sprite or any photo you've taken of it. • Drag and drop from your bag: hold an item in the bag and drag it straight onto your village. • New Food section in the Cat Shop: food bowls and treats are all in one place now. • Calmer treat time: once one cat gets the treat, the others go back to what they were doing instead of piling up. • Rate Strays: a new button in Settings → About. • Easier coin top-ups: tapping something you can't afford opens the coin shop. • Bug fixes and polish.
