About Cats are Assholes

Cats are Assholes is a shelter simulation game by Sébastien Bénard (deepnight), the designer of Dead Cells, made in three days for Ludum Dare 40 on the theme "The more you have, the worse it is". You are an old lady with a house full of stray cats, and all you have to do is take good care of them.

The cats want fish in their bowls and clean litter boxes, and more of them keep arriving. Keep the fridge stocked, buy equipment, upgrade the fridge and send your grandson Mark to help. Fail, and the cats eat you. In the Ludum Dare 40 jam the game placed 11th for graphics, 12th for humor and 13th overall.
