Thank You Battle Cats

I first played this game when I was a freshman in Highschool. I had bad anxiety and somehow managed to make a friend after a rough first day. That friend introduced me to battle cats and I’ve been playing ever since. I am 26 now. Every playthrough feels fresh and fun, because you get the cats randomly each time. It never feels like you have to pay to win the game. The developers always give xp/ cat food/ gacha tickets.
It’s funny, creative, and addicting
Yay for battle cats!! And friendship!!
