Nintendogs is one of the best selling games on the DS. Therefore it's no shock to see Crave announcing Purrpals, a pet simulator that focuses on kittens rather than puppies.
Unlike puppies however, cats are insane creatures with a specific hidden agenda. Please be aware of this fact as you allow Purrpals to inhabit your DS. It is absolutely possible that somehow your adorable baby kitten could hijack your gaming career and delete all of your saves. I care about you all and I only want to protect you from the danger you may be in at the hands of a kitten with nothing to live for.
Hit the jump for the press release.

Clawed bedsheets and cat hair all over FTL.
2007, just in time for kitten season"
Get out the hunting rifles. It's KITTEN season!
I've got a cat that if you don't leave the door open it gets pawed at until it is. Lose-lose for me.
@Milofo
There are some trained cats for TV. So it is possible. But, I can't imagine it's that easy. Dogs aim to please. Cats think we are here to please them.
I wish these pet simulators were more like Pokemon.
Guess I'll have to wait for someone to make a chicken raising simulator complete with a cock fight mode with Wifi!
Oh my god I so copyrighting that...
Grrr. Excuse my dumbassery.
Why would you use a Chrono Trigger piece in an article non-relative? That makes me sad and angry at the same time.
I had a giggle!
And Bahamut, the seering flames of hell are more warming than your posts, they will be welcomed.
