Catz

Following the tradition of the Petz series for PC, the series starts now on Nintendo's handheld.

Catz, along with Dogz, is the first of the series for the Nintendo DS. It's a pet simulation game, where the player can choose between 5 different races of cats. The goal is basically to care for your cat, that is, bathing it when it is dirty, feeding it when it is hungry, curing it when it is sick, and so on. Additionally, many traditional toys for cats are present in Catz to play with your pet, such as fake mice or small balls with bells inside.

But once in a while, the in-game PDA will show an alert. Here, the game will give interesting real-life advices about cat caring, and also tasks to be performed by the player. Succeeding at these tasks, like caring for cats of other non-player characters, will earn the player coins to buy either toys and costumes for their pet or furniture and decorations for the house. The player will also be rewarded with "Kitty Cardz" that give hints on cat caring or tell facts about them.

Catz is also a multiplayer game. In two-player multi-card mode, Cardz and photos of the kittens can be shared with friends.
