This is Not Your Cat

This Is Not Your Cat A solo ritual of presence, patience, and purring. A cat has entered your space. It isn’t yours. You might not touch it. But you may try. This Is Not Your Cat is a cozy, minimalist solo RPG about quietly earning a cat’s trust — or accepting its indifference. With just a six-sided die, a few choices, and three quiet attempts, you’ll discover whether today’s feline visitor is aloof, playful, affectionate… or simply not in the mood. Inspired by moments of stillness and everyday magic, this game invites you to slow down, observe, and engage in a gentle ritual of connection. Whether the cat curls up beside you or vanishes into the quiet, each session is a soft story told in glances, gestures, and tiny hopes. ✦ What You Need: One six-sided die (1d6) A quiet moment A willingness to accept whatever happens ✦ What You Get: An 8-page printable zine (single-sheet foldable mini-booklet) Full game rules, reaction table, and scoring A small ritual you can return to again and again Perfect for lovers of cats, solitude, gentle storytelling, and quiet games that live in your pocket.
