Update #3: The Naptime Update
Blankies at the ready? Hot water bottle stuffed under your pillows?
Alright then. Ready. Set... 💤Naptime💤!
This surprisingly energetic major update bring sleeping cats, a new furniture set and ingredient delivery! Let's dive in.

NEW FEATURE: 💤Sleepy Cats
🐱Adding a new Cat Need: Sleep.
At the end of each workday cats with the Sleep Need (all cats after the first upgraded Stray Cat Lure) will want to sleep in a cat bed.
The 2 Cat Litterbox Shrine upgrades have been changed to 'Cat Comforts', and now include 6 cat beds to unlock. Place these in your cafe for your cats to sleep in; but higher Sleep Need cats want better beds!
Cats that cannot sleep in a bed because your bed score isn't high enough will complain instead. The following day these cats will be unavailable for 3 to 5 hours as they sleep during the day. Better get them their catnap!
NEW FEATURE: 📦Bonner's Ingredient Delivery Service
🐱Have your ingredients delivered!
Complete the game (by finishing all the Shrine Upgrades) to unlock Bonner's newly provided service!
Once unlocked, you can purchase the new Delivery Service at the Food Market shop.
After purchasing, click the 🔁button next to an Ingredient at the Food Market shop to turn on 'auto delivery'. Once turned on, you will automatically purchase that ingredient whenever you run out! If you cannot afford it at this time, the game will give you a little notification, and turn off the auto delivery for now.
NEW CONTENT: ⛩️Eastern Teahouse Furniture Set
This new high level furniture set includes tables, chairs, wallpapers, floors, kitchen utensils and decor that will allow you to turn your cat cafe into a beautiful teahouse, inspired by Chinese and Japanese designs.
We hope you'll use these to build a beautiful cafe!
MORE!
- CONTENT: New 🌺 outdoor plant decorations:
- Tulips (purchasable from the start)
- Bush (purchasable from the start)
- Sunflowers (unlocked in the Harvest Halloween Shrine Upgrade)
- Cat shaped bush (unlocked in the Tea House 1 Shrine Upgrade) - 🐱CONTENT: Added 7 new 💇🏽hairstyles!
Remember you can change your hairstyle by pressing ESC and selecting 'Edit Character'. - FEEDBACK: More clear feedback on what stats get affected by having duplicates of a piece of furniture, when buying in the shop.
- FEEDBACK: Cats that are not available to entertain customers for any reason (because they are asleep or complaining about stress / playing) are now colored darker to indicate this a bit more.
- FEEDBACK: Cats complaining about wanting to play (because there are not enough Toys) now use their 'play' animations, to differentiate from complaining about wanting pets.
- FEEDBACK: New end of game text explains your newly unlocked options a bit more clearly, including your ability to re-adopt any cats you’ve given a Forever Home.
- 🐱FIX: Robocat9000 will not complain about food anymore.
- 🐱FIX: Cats who complain about wanting to Play or be Pet no longer slide around the cafe.
- FIX: Cats can no longer have multiple ‘Play’ or ‘Calm’ tasks anymore.
- FIX: Improved the language system when changing languages between saves.
We really really hope you enjoy the update!
I put this in our update announcement, but I think it'd be good to repeat here:
The Naptime Update will be the final major update for Cat Cafe Manager.
To be clear, this won't mean we'll stop fixing bugs and issues that come up!
It's just that we've started prototyping and developing really exciting new games to work on beyond CCM, and we're now at a point in development that we've gotta focus our small team's attention on them full-time.
I can't yet talk about these new games, but I can guarantee we'll keep doing what we do best: make wholesome & interesting management games! We'll post on the Roost Games discord and twitter once we can show stuff off!
Again, we really hope you enjoy the update. If you run into anything, or have any feedback, definitely let us know, OK? Until next time!
From me (Rick) and all of Roost Games (Rutger, Carmen, Joni and Sonya)...
thanks so much for playing our little cat game!
Hotfix 1.2.476
- Fixed a crash when giving a cat with very high stats a Forever Home.
Hotfix 1.2.475
THANK YOU! 1 Year Anniversary & Announcing next Major Update
First of all...
It's the 1 year anniversary of Cat Cafe Manager, and what a year!
When we started Roost Games at the start of 2020, I had no idea that 3 years later our first self-developed game would be so supported by a community of terrific cat lovers! And I, and the rest of Roost Games, feel so incredibly thankful for that!!
So, like Mateo said above, THANK YOU for playing Cat Cafe Manager!
We released a mini update today, which...
- Adds some fresh 🎉 anniversary flair to the main menu
- Fixes a rare issue where the Premium Cat Lure wouldn't be in the shop after unlocking it
... but something much bigger is coming!
The next major update releases April 27!
The Naptime Update will introduce a bunch of new stuff, like...
- New Cat Need: 💤Sleep. Finally, you can buy your cats a cardboard box to sleep in.
- New High-Level Furniture Set: ⛩️Eastern Teahouse. Build a new kind of dazzling cat cafe.
- New Quality of Life feature: 📦Ingredient Delivery. Out of ingredients? Just have them delivered!
- And more!
Here's a little sneak peak at some of the new furniture from the Eastern Teahouse set:
I do have one more bittersweet thing to announce:
The Naptime Update will be the final major update for Cat Cafe Manager.
To be clear, this won't mean we'll stop fixing bugs and issues that come up!
It's just that, while developing new content for Cat Cafe Manager over the past year, we've also started prototyping and developing really exciting new games to work on beyond CCM, and we're now at a point in development that we've gotta focus our small team's attention on them full-time.
I can't yet talk about these new games, but I can guarantee we'll keep doing what we do best: make wholesome & interesting management games! We'll post on the Roost Games discord and twitter once we can show stuff off!
Alright, that's it for now! I hope you look forward to the Naptime Update on April 27!
From me (Rick) and all of Roost Games (Rutger, Carmen, Joni and Sonya)...
thanks so much again!! We could never have done it without each and every one of you!
Patch 1.2.466
Here's a patch with a bunch of fixes to issues we found and encountered by the community.
We're still working on another update with new content. It's gonna take a bit longer but I hope you're looking forward to it!
Oh, and while you're here, we have a little request: We're trying to hit 1,000 reviews by our 1-year anniversary on April 14th, so we'd love to hear your thoughts! If you haven't reviewed us already, we'd really appreciate it if you took a couple of minutes to do so, it really helps people find our cozy lil game! We really appreciate every single review! Thanks!! 🐱

- Fixed build cost of outside floors incorrectly showing as '0' even when it's not.
