We love games in our household. We love cats too. I thought it would be fun to collect a list of BGG games where the pictures include a cat.

This list is in no particular order. Add to it please....

I'm glad folks are still enjoying this photo. Misty was just over a year old at the time and lived another 17 years. I still recall the time my wife took this photo, which was before our first child was born.

I do love this picture. I think I like the TV stand in the background as much as the kitty. We had a stand like that....

I think we had the same TV and the same stand. It was wonderfull that your cat lived so long (our 9 month old kitten died Saturday of a congential heart/lung disease).

Wow, you're old enough to remember black-and-white TV, too? And, you can still remember that far back? Impressive!

I remember when we only had black and white TV and only the ABC, CBS and NBC channels! :)

Me, too. And, we knew the channel and time for every show on TV between 6:00pm and 10:00pm, every night of the week. Gads, I'd hate to go back to those days. I'm a constant cable channel surfer these days....

In Toon (the cartoon role-playing game), there is a Cathulhu variant you can play where Cthulhu is a cat. :)

We feed him special diabetic cat food. It's VERY expensive but it keeps his blood sugar under control.

Jason,
My first and only cat's name was Sugar, too! She lived to be about 16. I miss that furball.

My wife is definately NOT a cat (or dog or hampster...etc) person, and she puts her foot down. The kids are practically begging for a cat, but I have to put up a united front so that she's not the bad guy (but she is....)

She was born on a little island in the Mediterranean Sea, and has dark fur and magnetic eyes.

So we call her "Circe", like the sorceress in the Odissey.

There's a classic cat position, curled up in any open box. My latest kitty was even seen curled up in the garbage can, on top of the garbage. They're such loungers. Meow!

That's my boy Booker. He's a spastic cat. In my avatar is his littermate Kehsef and their "sister" Astra. I like to say he takes a "bite out of Life".

I agree. In fact I first thought it was an Oceania box because it looks small.

Yes, it's my cat - I got the wrong title when I uploaded it. This cat sits in any game box, she's even tried Boomtown and Lost Cities. Our Puerto Rico lid is broken at the corners and covered in muddy footprints.

She hates Niagara.

Sure, cat meat tends to be stringy and tough, but I don't think the flavor is so bad as to be fatal.

I'm don't hate cats, just the people who take pictures of them in game boxes.

One thing is for sure. Leave a cat alone in a room with set up game, and 90% of the time when you come back, the worse thing that happened is that the cat decided to lay down in the middle of the board. Leave a dog alone with the same game, and you're lucky if it's still intact. Cats are so much less neurotic than dogs. (probably because their brains aren't much bigger than a pea).
