Interesting. I have 7.1.2. I'll need to look out for this. Thank you for mentioning this.

No problem. I followed the steps in the article and have set out a treat. It seems like neko atsume.

I have set out a treat, but I have not caught a cat yet. :(

Super weird, didn't really expect it to work. Thanks for the heads up. I set out a fish, let's see if I catch a cat.

Me either but I'll share when I do catch one

I got a cat! I called it Smoky Mitts
---

Cat #27 found!
---

OMG Smoky Mitts stop stealing the food
---

Shout out to cat # 429

Cat #553 came to me

Thanks for the tip. My wife and I are doing this now. I've caught three so far. I named them Dr. Mew (looks like 11th Doctor), Dipsykins (looks derpy), and Pingypoo (looks like a penguin).

Nice. I have Huffer, Snowball II, Smoky Mitts, and Princess Carolyn

My neighborhood has a lot of stray cats. How useful is it for tracking them down?

Probably not very unless you're using the flashlight
---

So far I've got 5 different cats. They keep coming back for the food I put out.
---

I have nine now. Mine also keep eating the food. It seems that the more cats you've got, the less likely each "a cat is here" message is to have a new cat.

Kitties! ^.^
---

Eleven cats now
---

Nice. I'm up to 16 now. My favorite so far is a brown one with white splotches all over that I named Catfé con Leche.

Why is this fun or even amusing? It isn't even anything. Why am I still doing this?

Purrkemon? :O

Hunt cats?!
Why would I want to shoot a cat?
---

*cries* ;.;
It's not hunting -- should have used a better word, I feel. ;.;


Instead, it's more like ... grabbing. Grabbing pussycats. ^.~

I now have 26 cats in this. I have a problem. My new favorite is an orange one named Naronja. It's a cat pun in Spanish. Naranja is Spanish for orange (the fruit), and ron is Spanish for purr. It's great. I feel like getting an orange cat now in real life, I like that name so much.

And that's how it starts, isn't it? Next thing you know I'll have 26 actual cats.

Suddenly I want an Android phone.

That's a cute name I dig it

I can't get it to work. I get to the screen with the N and the cat emoji at the bottom but that's it, there's nothing in my drop down menu.

Try long pressing the N until you get a no symbol, and long press again to get a cat face.

You may have to go through your shortcut menu items to move the cat one to be visible.



It will be an empty dish to start.

Nope, don't work

35 now. I've named five after the first emperors or Rome (Augustus Catsar, Tipurrius, Catligula, Clawdius, and Mewro), several now have food names (Muffins, Flan, Pancake), and a few are named silly titles (Professor Purr, Mr. Meow, Ms. Purrston, Don Cato, Colonel Cuddles, etc.).

It's getting out of hand. I'm running out of names. I have ones names Pie Guy, Fuzzbutt, and Swizzle. I'm running out.

Nice that's quite a few. I have 18.

The struggle of naming that many animals is real. Imagine naming 500 a year. It's not easy
