In addition to the art that pays homage to many famous works, the game\u2019s puzzles are filled with all sorts of cats. Some of these cat-like forms attack the boy and others roll over and let you pet them. But either way, cats seem to be the foundation of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cat Museum<\/em> was developed by Taiwanese game studio 751 games. The team of 4 is quite young with their average age being in the early 20s.
