Every cat owner knows the feeling. You finally fall asleep, and after what feels like mere minutes of rest, someone is walking on your goddamn face: your cat. The merciless beast neither knows nor cares about the 8 AM conference call on your schedule; It wants what it wants—food, attention, literally nothing—and it’s going to ruin your life until it gets it.
Plenty of games allow you to roleplay as anti-heroes or even villains, and thanks to the free browser game My Garbage Cat Wakes Me Up at 3 AM Every Day by Will Herring, it’s finally your turn to step into the role of a vindictive feline determined to empty their owner’s “sleep meter.”
The controls are simple:
“Press Z to meow and cry all the time.
Press X to knead with your dumb little paws.
Do your worst.”
