Meet Gingerbean, your cozy virtual cat companion. Gingerbean: Cozy Cat is a gentle virtual pet game about caring for a cat, sharing small daily moments, and creating a warm room to call home. Feed, groom, play, and rest together. Your cat reacts with visible moods, expressive animations, and a personality that grows familiar over time. CARE FOR YOUR CAT Adopt a kitten and learn what it needs. Feed your cat when it is hungry, groom its fur, play with favorite toys, and help it rest. Tap to pet Gingerbean and watch for the little reactions that make your companion feel present. A CAT WITH A REAL PERSONALITY Gingerbean can be happy, hungry, sleepy, sad, grumpy, or unwell. You can understand how your cat feels by watching its expression, movement, and behavior, not by staring at a wall of numbers. Good care brings brighter moods and more playful moments. DECORATE A COZY CAT ROOM Build a room that feels like yours. Collect rugs, furniture, plants, toys, bowls, wallpaper, and other decorations. Arrange items around your cat and change the atmosphere as your home grows. SHARE SMALL DAILY MOMENTS Take a walk, visit the vet, enjoy a treat, groom together, or settle in for a nap. Daily goals and activities give you simple reasons to check in without turning care into a chore. A VIRTUAL PET GAME THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME There are no ads, energy timers, or loot boxes. Play at your own pace. Your cat is a companion, not a demand on your schedule. Optional content packs and supporter items let you add more personality and decoration when you want to. If you enjoy cozy games, virtual pets, cat care games, pet simulators, room decorating, or gentle daily routines, Gingerbean is ready to meet you.

Meet Neo, your first virtual pet! Choose an octopus, a cat, a dog, a bunny or a duck, give it a name and take care of it every day: feed it, give it a bubbly bath, tuck it into bed and make it giggle with tickles. Your pet grows with you: it starts as a baby and becomes a kid, a teen and a grown-up. It never gets sick or goes away — if you forget it, it just gets a little sad until you care for it again. - 27 mini-games to earn coins: catch the food, jump, memory, bubbles, fishing, follow the tune, maze, bowling, puzzle, tic-tac-toe, connect four and many more. - Over 100 wardrobe items: hats, glasses, clothes and accessories that unlock as you level up. - A kitchen with foods that open up as your pet grows. - Talk to it and it repeats you in a funny voice (your voice is never saved and never leaves the phone). - Day and night follow the real time: when it gets dark, it's bedtime. - Levels and growth: real care raises affection, level and life stage. Made with love by Neobit for the whole family: • Truly 100% free: no ads and no purchases. • Works without internet, anytime and anywhere. • No sign-up, no accounts and no shared data. • Protected "For parents" area with sound, voice and notification settings.
