    Cats and the Other Lives is clever and inventive. The whole concept of having a cat as the protagonist and finder of the narrative is excellent. But you always get the feeling that this cat isn’t worried about how things play out, acting as a bystander to the events which fold. The control system can take a while to get used to and there are slight pacing problems, especially in the middle section of the game, yet overall this a fun adventure that allows you to take things in via the eyes of a cat, watching a family drama unfold.
