Easter Egg from Android Nougat

I wanted to keep playing this game on Android O, so lifted the source from AOSP, cleaned it up a bit, fixed some things, and published it here.

In case you're unfamiliar with this game, please see https://www.howtogeek.com/269207/how-to-enable-android-nougats-cat-collecting-easter-egg/ and skip to the step that says "Give the notification bar a couple more tugs, to expose the Quick Settings menu. Then tap 'Edit.'"

*Keep your cats!*
There is experimental support to "teleport" your cats from the built-in game to this game - even across devices - at the source link below.

I have rated this game 1 star in the hopes the developer will see this review so that he may fix the one problem plaguing the majority of people with this app. I downloaded this separate application as opposed to using the built in Easter egg as the built in one had serious latency issues beyond 256 cats. I hoped this version would use a different vector-based drawing system to reduce the latency or remove it altogether; however, this is not the case. I experience the same freezing issues as the original and I hope to see the app updated to address this issue. Thank you!

Downloaded this because I remembered this old easter egg. It's nothing exciting just random fun. Unlocked this on my old Samsung phone years ago and now I have it again. One thing I hated was losing the 100+ cats. * Update - On One UI 3 now and Neko Cats are back. Too bad if you run the Easter egg on One UI 3 you'll get the new one but issues arise as this app doesn't play nice with the default Neko. Nt sure how to merge or export them. Anyway not this apps fault just what happens 😿.

i missed this game ever since i upgraded to android version 8 and i was so glad to see that this allowed me to play my favorite game ever the one thing i would like to change is that it would be so fun if i could play with the cats or see them on screen when they come! it is just great the way it is 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone who likes a good way to kill time

I love this Cat app! Although I know the cats are not real, I still get very happy when cats come for the treats I had put out. I get very, very happy when i get a weird coloured cat that I classify as "rare" such as pink, orange or blue. And I do love how we can easily rename the cats. It's one of the best apps there is in my device, in my opinion.

It works, I get cats, but I get a lot more repeat cats than I used to ever get. I like the sorting options, but I wish sorting by name put "11 Deli" after "9 Cheeseball", and not directly after "1 Cherry". (I sort my cats by the order I get them... or tried to)

It took me a few minutes to find and install the dish in the notification area on Android Pie, but now my Neko cats are back, and I'm delighted! Yes, it's a silly little game, but it brings such joy to see "A cat is here", especially since they seem to appear more quickly in this version, even when you put out Treats. Thank you, dev, thank you! ❤

Can't use it. I have android 10 and I downloaded this and didn't get a widget to open from the main screen and it doesn't show in the drop down menu and I have no way to enable it. Very disappointed.

Ok thus is just like i remember from my old phone OwO im using android 11 which was supposed to bring back this cat game but since im on Samsung i didnt get to play it cause of the lack of a controls menu. This app works wonders so far (only got one cat so far) and it is just like i remember. It can takes minutes / seconds / or even hours for a cat but patience is a virtue =^^= thank you for making this!

I was really sad when Android 8 removed the Neko cat Easter egg. This app works exactly as described, and I've had fun attracting new cats to my phone using Android 8-10. Even though I'm delighted that my update to Android 11 brought back the cat Easter egg, I'm keeping this app, anyway. It will be fun to compare results. Great job, dev, and thank you! 🏆

The one thing I love with this is, It access my control center which means it doesn't have the app icon that is visible in my home screen, so it looks a built in app. It's also very cuteee! I like how you can freely name the cats 😂

Each food seems to bring the same cat. So only 4 cats ever appear. Maybe if the game could check which cats you already have, and not repeat any, then it would be more fun.

Super happy with the instructions given, but I couldn't use the app, the app is only able to be use in Android 10 and below, I can't use it, wish the creator could continue to update on it.

It works!! :D I get the same cat from time to time but it's fine. All I need to do is restart my device then BOOM. A new cat has arrived.

A. G. u. Aug 25, 2019     

Thanks for taking the time to put this on Android 9! I was about to miss my cats but, no more. This version also seems less buggy than the original!

A. G. u. Dec 25, 2018     

No frills non-sense! Simple, but I love it. yeah, most reasonable people would say that this app is crazy. I don't play games, but this little nonsense is cool! Thanks for keeping my little - ha, ha - kitties alive!

It was fine at first but then it kept catching the cats I already owned and not giving me any more cats. Edit: I think I understand the glitch now bc this happened with the other Easter egg that I downloaded. Basically If you rename your cats the game recognises the renamed cat as a new cat. And when I said it gave me the same cats I meant it notified me when a cat I already got was in the app:the cats didn't just look the same, they were the same.

Wow developer, you're ignorant. Of course I'm using different treats. This app hasn't been updated in roughly a year and a half. There are bugs. Only 1 can't ever comes. You can't collect more than one.

it's nice to have this handy, since my first phone ran on Android Nougat and had this built-in, while my new phone on Android 10 (now 11?) does not

I just upgraded to Oreo on my LG V20 and, while the food dish remained in my menu bar, my cats were nowhere to be found. I added food to the dish but caught no cats. I was sad. Then I found your app! I have one comment and one question. Here's the comment: I long-pressed on the food dish, as one user suggested, and there were all my cats, plus the two new ones that evidently came when I tried, I thought unsuccessfully, to set out some food under Oreo. And I had done *nothing* to teleport my cats. Now here's the question: can you tell me how to sort my cats? I can't seem to find it. Thank you so much for bringing this back!!!

A very good app. I'm having lots of fun collecting cats and seeing how different types of food attract different cats. Amazing app!

A. G. u. Mar 26, 2020     

Glad you have the Easter egg back again. However having a common issue with cats I've named appearing instead of actually getting new cats, and I use a different food each time

A. G. u. Oct 28, 2018     

It doesn't work. I place the quick tile, press it, choose something to place on the plate... and, the plate is still empty, making this app useless because I cant even use it in the first place. The reason I needed this app is because I am on Android Oreo (8.1.0) and the nougat easter egg doesnt work on Oreo.

A. G. u. Mar 29, 2019     

I wish I could see the cats I have without having to set the food out and wait for another one, then tap the notification. Other than that it's cool.

A. G. u. Oct 3, 2018     

Thank you so much for this! On Android 9 now and I've been missing this since my old Android 7! It's exactly as it was with the Easter egg!

In 36 hours I got 10 cats. 3 are black (same cat) 7 are orange (same cat). I have the original game on a tablet that runs android 7. I have 999 different cats. Yes, duplicates will come up. But this is silly. Nice try though. I believe Google should make the easter eggs available in Google play.

NOO. Jan 19, 2021     

nice app well I have some things to tell you if you feed them bits they will come in 15 minutes but if you already have some cats there are 85 percent chance that the old Cat will eat it. if you feed them fish they will come in 30 minutes and there are 50perecent chance that old cat will eat it. if you feed chicken they will come in 1hour and there are 25 percent chance that old cat will eat it. if you give them treat they will come in 2hours and there are 10 percent guys u can't write more pls

A. G. u. Feb 13, 2020     

it's OK... several cats have the same name/#, many cats are the same, I guess the background are different but the bg's don't share/export just the cat 😼

Gal. F. Feb 14, 2021     

This was a fun app. My battery could not keep up with the consumption, so I Uninstalled. Thanks for the little bit of time I did have it!

I accidentally deleted the original version that came built in so I had to download this one. The app is a cat gacha and you can collect them and well, just stare at them at the end I guess-
