Cat lovers who miss their pets will jump at the chance to have a virtual cat on their computer screens.
Catz 4 from Focus Multimedia offers hundreds of ways to enjoy the antics of an onscreen virtual pet.
As any cat owner knows, cats are not always predictable, so expect the unexpected from this quirky title that allows the user to adopt kittens and watch them grow on screen.
The virtual animals need to be fed and loved and, just like the real thing, they develop their own, sometimes outrageous personalities.
The software allows the user to create environments for their pet to play in. There are a number of pre-set scenarios, such as The Wild West with an animated tortoise, saloon-style music backing and wanted posters for pets.
More adventurous virtual pet owners will love Winter Wonderland with a sledge and a seriously-cool snowman.
For users with an over-active imagination, there is a diary section which allows users to record details of their pets activities.
This title wont appeal to everyone as it is definitely dafter than most. But colleagues who tried the software loved it.
Price: £9.99.
