Who would have thought that 2020 would be the year of quarantine and finding unconventional, and often old-school ways to amuse ourselves. So if you're on the hunt for something to fill the time now that many of us are stuck indoors, we have just the thing: a feline-themed version of monopoly.
Cat-opoly is not for cats to play, of course, and apparently it's "perfect for kids" too.
According to the product description on Amazon:
"Cat-opoly is a feline frenzy of fun! Buy your favorite cats such as the Tonkinese, the Ragdoll, the Abyssinian, the Sphinx or the Maine Coon. Land on Catnip and collect everything in the center of the board. Collect Litter Boxes and trade them in for Fish Bones. You may have to pay dog tax to get past the neighborhood bully, a spike collared bulldog, or worst of all, you may fall in the water and be out for three turns. Cat-astrophic!...there's nothing madder than a wet cat! Cat-opoly is great fun for family and friends. A perfect gift for all cat lovers!
The description states that it's ideal for "ages 8 and up", and suits "2 to 6 players".
Cat-opoly currently retails for £28.88.
If you're familiar with the traditional game of Monopoly, then it shouldn't be too difficult to wrap your head around Cat-opoly. Instead of trading property, you'll be dealing with milk bottles, mice, sardines, cat food, fish and balls of yarn - you know, all of your feline's favorite things. Oh and each deed contains some fun facts about cats, so you can amp up your knowledge on your animal of choice.
Watch as Munchie the dwarf cat plays with his toys:

And customers are certainly pleased with their purchase.
One Amazon user wrote: "Bought this for my six year old daughter and my only complaint is that I've played it too often! My daughter asks to play every day (sometimes twice). Think it's good with the cat facts on the back of the cards and is exactly the same as monopoly but if your kids like cats, I think it appeals more than the traditional monopoly game. Also there's dogopoly of you're not a cat lover! [sic]."
