CATS KNOW THINGS

Cats Know Everything About Everyone

CATS KNOW THINGS is a light-hearted game meant to tell a humorous story of intrigue, all while pretending to be a very nosy cat. 

But you are no ordinary cat.

You are a very special feline who, through some magic you cannot explain, can communicate with your human, an individual who wishes to make their mark in society by any means necessary. The two of you decide to start a society page, (a very fancy type of tabloid newspaper dedicated to a particular location) revealing the glitz, glamour, and inner turmoil of the town’s most notable individuals. 

As the cat you will travel across town, using your stealth and wiles to listen in on the most intimate conversations and encounters. At the end of the day you return to your human to relay to them all the town’s salacious gossip for the society page. The goal is to prepare 6-8 items for the newspaper before your human sends them to the presses for the week.

What do you need for the solo journal rpg?

To play Cats Know Things, you will need:

• Pen/Pencil and a Journal (alternatives include an electronic tablet or a laptop)
• A six-sided die (1d6) and a ten-sided die (1d10). Use online number generators if physical dice are not available.
• (Optional) A web page to publish your society pages for all to see.

CATS KNOW THINGS is a game written by N. Russell (Maks Zee) and is inspired by Natsume Sōseki’s novel I Am a Cat, pokes satirical fun at Japanese society during the Meiji era through the eyes of a nameless cat. It also has inspirations from the Bridgerton television show and book series by Julia Quinn, particularly the character Lady Whistledown.
