Objective:

Cat lady has been expanded to include the latest litter; kittens! This small expansion includes 18 kitten cards and 3 stray cats.

Stray Cats:

Three stray cats have been added to include a little more variability. One of these strays focus on kittens and one is a dog instead of a cat.

Kittens:

Kittens are a new cat type. Each kitten will be worth 2 points at the end of the game if they are fed. The new additive that the kittens bring is that there are two ways to feed them; give them any two foods or pairing them with a fed adult cat that shares a colour with the kitten. That cat will essentially share their food with the kitten. Not all 18 kitten cards are used every game, they are shuffled and only three per player are added to the main deck.

Final Thoughts:

Pros:

- Gives players a new way to get rid of food at the end of the game to avoid losing the two points for having the most leftover food.

- Easy rule addition to incorporate into any game.

Cons:

- Small amount of content in the expansion.

Kittens is an easy addition to Cat Lady as it gives players another way to score, as well as a way to remove food at the end of the game. It doesn't change the core game by much but helps add more variability and scoring possibilities to an already great family game.
