Neko Atsume App Being Made Into Live Action Movie

It is clear that I am obsessed with cats. So much so that I have downloaded multiple apps that are cat related. Including one of my favorite cat apps, Neko Atsume. It is a Japanese cat app where you would place cat food and treats in a yard and cats would then come to the yard and you would collect as many cats as you can. The more cats you collect the more points you get and then you can upgrade your yard. It is pretty cool.

The most difficult cat to collect is Tubbs. He will eat all the cat food and leave.

This app has become so popular that Japan has announced a live action movie will be made from this app, according to The Daily Dot. The film synopsis published by Siliconera states:

Meet Katsu Sakumoto (portrayed by Atsushi Ito), a best-selling author who won the newcomer’s award at a young age. Lately, Katsu has had a severe case of writer’s block, and hasn’t been able to write anything at all. In order to get a fresh new start, he moves away to quiet lands, but it doesn’t quite help out his case.

One day, while at a loss and looking at the garden from his porch, a single cat appears. Katsu makes an attempt to speak to the cat, but it simply just walks away. The thought that even cats would desert Katsu made things more depressing for the writer. However, that night, he decided to leave some cat food at the corner of the garden before going to bed. The food was gone the following morning. This brings a sudden interest in Katsu—and how the story of the young author’s “Neko Atsume” begins.

Crazy cat ladies unite! Japan is making a movie just for us.

Here is a picture of my cat for fun.
