Visit a suburban street where 4 mischevious cats are eagerly awaiting your arrival.

The internet is full of cute pets and crazy animal videos that are uploaded to Social Media every single day. None more so than those lovable feline creatures known as Cats. I am sure we all remember the time when the Grumpy Cat showed up and almost broke the internet! Software producer NetEnt noticed this trend and decided to release a slot all about these animals in order to get a slice of the action. So if you are a bit of cat lover then this game might just tickle your fancy!

It is a 5 reel slot with 25 paylines and comes with Free Spins, Stacked Wilds, and a Copy Cat feature.

Special Features

The first feature I noticed while playing this game is the Wild Symbol. It is represented by a golden cat hiding behind a big ball of purple string. It substitutes for all other symbols in the game except for the Bonus symbol to help form winning combinations. Make sure to keep an eye out for the Red Cat symbol on the reels as it is the highest paying symbol in the game. Land 5 of these symbols and you’ll be treated to a wonderful 20X your initial bet!

The standout feature of the game ais the Copy Cat feature. To activate this feature, you need to land a full stack of any of the cat symbols or a Stacked Wild covering all positions on reel 1. When triggered, all the cat symbols appearing on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5 will transform into the same cat symbol that triggered the feature on reel 1. If you manage to trigger this feature with a Wild symbol then all cat symbols will turn Wild!

The Bonus symbol is represented by a white collar ball with a red ribbon. Land 3 of these symbols anywhere on reels 1, 3, and 5 and you’ll trigger the Free Spins game. In this feature, you’ll be awarded 10 Free Spins. If you manage to land 3 more Bonus symbols during Free Spins then you’ll be given an additional 10 Free Spins. That is not all as during Free Spins, all cat symbols that appear on reel 1 will be Wild which means that you can trigger the Copy Cat feature instantly as soon as you land a Stacked Wild. Once triggered, all the cat symbols will turn into Wild symbols and this will boost your winnings considerably.

Theme, Graphics and Sound

The game features some fantastic cartoon-like graphics as the game is set in the middle of a street between a few houses complete with a light blue sky and some puffy clouds in the distance. The cats are wonderfully designed and each has their own personality, for example, the blue cat is a bit mischevious and likes to stick his tongue out from time to time! Symbols consist of the 4 cats, a toy mouse, a bottle of milk, a fish bone, as well as some cat paw print icons. The animations are superb as symbols flash, enlarge, and dazzle in spectacular fashion whenever you land a win on the reels.

The music features a toe-tapping jazz style soundtrack. It ties in nicely with the cat theme of the game.
