Yeah, I can't cope with the news or bring myself to talk about life right now. So instead, I give you a Gratuitous Neko Atsume picspam!
I haven't been so captivated by a game in years. Possibly more than a decade. I have collected all the cats. I have all but two of the "common" cats' mementos. I own all the toys. The only things I have left to do are to get the rest of the (mostly) rare cats to bring me their mementos, and purchase the other two backgrounds. Although my favourite is likely to remain the Zen Garden which features in the picspam.
Anyway, I have been carefully constructing a series of gardens. The first was inspired by a comments exchange with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lurkingcat, and after that, I just couldn't stop.
The Food Garden.
The Expensive Garden (no toy worth less than 25 gold sardines).
The Tents & Tunnels Garden.
The Pots & Pails Garden.
The Holiday Treats Garden, after an update where seasonally appropriate items were added.
The Hot & Cold Garden.
And finally, the Chromatic Garden series is behind the second cut.
The Red Garden.
The Pink Garden.
The Orange Garden.
The Green Garden.
The Blue Garden.
Fellow Neko Atsume players! What themes have you come up with for your gardens?

I've just got my first photo of a rare cat (Billy The Kitten, I know Ramses The Great has visited but have yet to actually see them), and am saving up for my first remodel.

Top tip re: using sashimi early in the game: If you put it on the upper level, Tubbsy won't come along and devour it. He always stays in the lower part of the garden.

I've been saving all my gold for expansion and now for remodel, but once I have the cheap remodel done I shall experiment with using gold in the shop...

This morning they made a three tier cat tree out of some cardboard tubes from the recycling box and three paper plates. There were tears when I knocked it over.

I blame you for getting into Neko Atsume, really I do. It's been SO much fun. I've been playing it in Japanese for reading practice, and currently I have my cardboard train out to try and get a picture of the Station-Master*.
I've been trying to set up a whole cardboard village, with the boxes and the truck and all, but I can't get the house, the shop, and the train out all at once. Maybe a later update will allow me to do this. :) Until then, I'm working on a cardboard shopping district.
*I have no idea what this cat's English name is. It's Eki-chou-san, so I've taken liberties with the translation here.

According to the English version of the game, Eki-chou-san is "Conductor Whiskers". They didn't go so much for straight Japanese-to-English translations, they made cute/terrible puns. So Tatejima, the baseball-playing cat, is "Joe DiMeowgio". There's a complete list on this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/nekoatsume/comments/3r5ftt/list_of_english_and_japanese_names/

Ohhh my gosh cat puns. <3 This puts Monster Hunter's cat puns (which are numerous and terrible) to shame. Thank you!

It's a really low-key game, which is why I think I like it so much. You *can* spend a lot of time on it if you want to, but all you really have to do is put out toys and food, and check in every few hours to collect up the fishies.

There's that fancy Art Deco cat tower! Clearly designed for the modern garden. :)

Yes, it's fun having a garden full of 8-10 cats, but in real life, Telstar is quite enough for me.
