In Furistas Cat Cafe, adopting felines isn’t just fun, it’s good business. The more cute cats you nurture, the more adoring customers will pack your coffee shop. Your job is to keep things running by cheering up the place, making drinks and – best of all – petting the cats.

What we love: As you progress, you’ll unlock a slew of new kitties for your cafe. Each one has a unique personality based on a real-life cat the team behind the game knows and loves. Woolie, for example, is timid around new people, and Loveable has been known to scrap with tabbies!

Quick tip: Pair each customer with a cat that has a similar personality and watch their face light up (and the rewards come rolling in!). Tap the icon above the customer’s head to see which feline will be a perfect fit, then drag and drop them at the happy customer’s feet.
