About
Cats are Assholes is a shelter simulation game made in 3 days for Ludum Dare 40. All you have to do is to take great care of your beloved stray cats. If you fail, they will eat you, plain and simple. Make sure the fridge and the bowls are always full of fish, empty the litter boxes, buy extra equipment and upgrade your existing fridge capacity. Be sure to use Mark, your grandson, as often as possible! That's basically how you do multi-tasking in this house.
Praise the cats, hooman. Feed me, hooman!
