Feline objects, secrets, and furry inspiration.

I was developing the game when my partner and I decided to adopt a cat. We always wanted a furry family member, and it was the perfect time. That's how, after contacting a shelter in Tarragona, Catalonia, we were told that they had a kitten available for adoption. It was love at first sight. Once she arrived home, we called her Miga because we affectionately called each other "Pan" (bread) among our group friends. That's why Miga was the perfect name. She became an incredible inspiration to continue the game.

This is Miga:

Shortly afterward, we realized we wanted to offer Miga a companion of the same species. She played with us endlessly, but we thought feline interaction would make her happier. Once again, we contacted another shelter, this time in Granada, in southern Spain. They told us that they had rescued a kitten from a dog's mouth and that he was available for adoption. Miga's brother!

This is Mochi:

And here they are together. It was love at first sight:

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to include Mochi and Miga in the game. That's why, if you want, you can unlock Miga's skin in the game and play with her. You must go to the Meow section and type her name in the text field. As simple as that. The challenge was discovering her name through social media, but this is just another one, so congratulations. You have just solved one of the puzzles, if not the easiest.

Mochi is a Japanese dessert, and when you complete one of the game's final challenges, you will unlock an achievement that will give you a frame with his name written in Japanese. Long live mochis!

But this is not the only nod. There is another achievement that unlocks in the final challenges, where you will obtain a toy inspired by Funko-Pop, which is a cat with animations. When I designed this object and painted its skin, I followed the same fur pattern as the first cat I had as a child, named Cris, who was incredible. Here's a photo of him:

As you can see, the game is not only called CATASS for apparent reasons but is also full of authentic inspirations and cat references.

And how about you? Do you have cats? Don't forget to share their photos on the Steam page! Who knows... they might become unlockable skins in CATASS someday! I'll keep you informed about that.
