What do your pets get up to when you're not home? Now you can find out. Peek at the pet cam and catch them napping in odd places, chasing each other from room to room and staring very hard at a bird. Then walk in the door to the happiest hello of your day. Petwhile is a cozy pixel art world of cats and dogs with minds of their own. THE BEST PART OF YOUR DAY Come home and they come running. Tails up, hearts flying, and maybe a little gift left on the floor just for you. THEY NEVER SIT STILL Zoomies. Sunbathing. Knocking things off shelves. Your pets keep busy whether you're watching or not, and every time you come back there's a story of what you missed. WHO'S THAT AT THE WINDOW Cardinals on the sill. A raccoon in the yard. A shy stray who keeps coming back. Win their trust and they might just move in. MAKE IT YOURS • Adopt cats and dogs, each with a personality you uncover over time • Dress them up in hats, collars and scarves • Move from a city apartment to a cabin, a house and a big old barn • Fill your Field Guide with every visitor you spot • Fill your Scrapbook with every first • Toss treats, blow bubbles and roll a ball right from the camera • Keep an eye on them from your Home Screen with the Room Cam widget MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open the phone and watch two cameras side by side. NO PRESSURE, EVER A few minutes a day is plenty. No streaks to lose. No guilt. Miss a day and your pets are just happy to see you. No ads. No account. Optional in-app purchases for kibble and item bundles.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My Cat at none against Petwhile's 9. My Cat also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Petwhile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
