What is Neko Atsume?

Neko Atsume is a kitty collecting mobile game in which the player puts down food in their garden to attract lots of different cats. When a specific cat visits your garden enough times, it will leave you a present called a memento. Each one is unique for each cat! The aim of the game is to collect all kitties in your cat book and to collect all mementos from each cat.
