A few of the things that have us hooked this week.

Hello!

What have you been playing?

Simple and striking artwork for cat game Little Kitty, Big City, showing a 2D image of a cute, simplistic cat wearing a frog hat.

Okay, not a game, but hear me out.

Here’s the game part.

We didn’t really see it.

A photograph of the aurora borealis as seen from Christian Donlan’s garden. What a show off!

You couldn’t see much in the sky with the naked eye.

The lights only appeared when we took pictures on our phones.

Suddenly, the grey night sky over the neighbour’s house was stained a leafy green.

All of this just on our phones, mind.

Then, they swapped around.

Their giggles spoke to their enjoyment but I pressed them to find out exactly what it was they enjoyed.

I love the fun of trying to find him and how funny he is, my son said.

He thinks he’s hard to find but he really isn’t.

He also thinks cats' eyes are weird, for some reason.

I wonder why that is…

I don’t think cats' eyes are weird.

(My son went off on a bit of a tangent after this.)

My daughter, on the other hand, was all about the mischievous escapades.

you’re free to steal the humans' food!"

“you’ve got the option to make people drop their phones!

you’re able to leave paw prints in wet cement!

you’re free to even ‘paint’ things by knocking over pots.

She also liked the many different hats you’re able to adorn the kitty with.

So far her favourite is - ironically - the dog one.

A cat in a hat - what else do you really need?
