Choice of the Cat
Knock things over. Take a nap. Enslave humanity. Power, fame, and catnip are yours for the licking!
Choice of the Cat is a hilarious 600,000-word interactive novel by Jordan Reyne, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
It’s the biggest text-based cat simulator ever written; play it many times as different kinds of cat! As a rescue cat, looking for a family to love and obey you forever, you find yourself sharing a home with a family on the brink of divorce. You’ll learn to manipulate your owners, their neighbors, and even their other pets to get what you want. (The humans think they’re in charge! Aren’t they cute?)
Show your new family the meaning of unconditional love, rule by fear alone, or play them against one another for your amusement. Become a YouTube sensation when videos of your lovable antics go viral, or meddle from behind the throne as your owner family begins to take over the government.
Who’s an adorable, tyrannical kitty? YOU ARE. Will you sharpen your claws and mete out feline justice, or melt their hearts with purrs, meows, and cuddles?
- Play as male or female, or dispense with gender constructs
- Enjoy over half a million words covering cat lore, how to rule the planet, and what to do with a dead fish
- Save your owners’ marriage with kindness, or rip them apart with your tiny little claws
- Delve deep into the psyche of man’s second best friend, or become their first best friend, if Bene the dog lets you.
- Take revenge on those who cross you or your allies, or rescue the innocent using clever, quieter tricks
- Become a hero among cats, or pick on humans, and ruthlessly destroy a troubled marriage
- Enjoy luxurious carpets, curtains ripe for shredding, and belly rubs from your owners
- Shred and steal things, mark your territory stinkily, and cause fires
- Mess with vital political phone calls–or opt for clever calming tactics so your humans reach their goals
- Help your owner earn a recording contract from the music mogul next door, with the help of his cat

薄纱Stray的猫咪模拟器 ，轻松好读
就这样标题党，其实没看完，但先趁还有精力就来写个好评，有雷点会更新。
此游戏为女作者创作，已是一胜
作者个人主页可以搜Jordan Reyne，或者搜 choice of the cat credits，除了游戏作者外她好像还是歌手，属实多才多艺了
choice of the cat 可选母猫 ，两胜
choice of the cat两胜，stray 零胜，此乃三胜
总结：大获全胜
缺点
-主角无法选择饲养者，饲养者家是有四岁女儿的一家三口家庭，日常里无法避免和男饲养员的互动
-邻居里有厌猫男，之后可能会有剧情描写。
-主角的饲养者家里养了公狗
优点
+你是猫
+在非养宠人看来已经写得很猫了，不少选项都挺搞笑的，不过可能会有些刻板印象
如果养猫的话可能读起来更有代入感，随便摘录一些（可能会有记错的地方）
“当你来到衣帽间，你可以选择
1.把Claire（女饲养员）的假皮毛大衣扯下来 2. 咬鞋带 3.把鞋子从鞋柜里弄倒，钻到鞋盒子里（I squash myself into a shoe box. I take priority over shoes.）”
“觉得水槽的水看起来很美味”
晚上睡觉时候可以选择和饲养者一起睡，也可以远离这些愚蠢的人类（Away from these fools. Sleeping near humans is both hazardous and soppy.）
可以假扮可怜操控人类“Act hurt. Making humans squirm with guilt is both fun and potentially useful.”
“for example, that humans trapped in radios like to spread their suffering to listeners by regularly talking about weather, violent crime, disasters, or pointless games for creatures with two legs.被困在收音机里的人类总是在聊天气，暴力犯罪，灾祸或是面向两脚兽的毫无意义的游戏，向她们的听众倾泻自己的苦楚，"
甚至还有针对某姓名缩略JB男歌手的口水歌的diss，大爆笑了，这段剧情在知道作者其实也是创作型歌手后好笑指数直线上升
"Your thrill at the wonder of broadcasting lasts right up until a song comes on. It's sadly un-bedazzling. The odd bit is the chorus: "Ooh, ooh, ooh. Yes, you. Baby, yeah." You sit through it wondering if the singer forgot all his lines."
你为广播节目感到心潮澎湃，直到里面开始播放一首歌。很遗憾这首歌没那么让人眼前一亮，曲调奇怪“"Ooh, ooh, ooh. Yes, you. Baby, yeah”，你开始怀疑男歌手是否忘了歌词。
喜欢猫且不介意纯英文文字互动游戏的话，推荐从这部入门choice of game
