Major Update V1.2 — Grooming and the Siamese

My Desktop Cat · published 8 Oct 2026, 09:23 UTC · build 25798697

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello everyone!This update brings a new moment to share with your cat: a gentle break in the grooming room. A new companion and a few floral touches for their desktop home are also joining My Desktop Cat.

A little grooming ritual, just for you and your cat

See your companion up close in an illustrated room and follow the guided brush movements. Care for six areas, from their head to their little paws, with soft music and purring to keep you company.

  • Grooming is available for your cats and meets their new grooming need. It counts towards the cat's overall happiness.

  • Everyday, each area completed in the daily ritual earns 2 Paw Coins, for a total of 12 across all six. You can keep brushing afterwards just for fun.

  • Grooming can also appear among your daily care missions, while your daily mini-game mission keeps its place.

  • Your ritual progress is saved when you leave the room and return later.

Meet the Siamese

With blue eyes, a cream coat and chocolate points, the Siamese joins the companions you can adopt. Preview their animations before welcoming them home, then enjoy their desktop activities and a visit to the grooming room.

The Wisteria Porcelain collection

Lilac flowers and ivory porcelain bring a soft new look to your cat's corner:

  • The Wisteria Porcelain Cushion for cosy naps.

  • The Wisteria Tassel for playtime together.

  • The Wisteria Porcelain Bowls, available for 850 Paw Coins.

  • The Wisteria Porcelain Perch for a spot above the floor.

Find all four accessories together in the collection album. The Siamese, cushion, tassel and perch are optional premium additions.

A new free backdrop: Lavender Cottage

Settle your companion into a bright room overlooking lavender, with blue shutters and warm wooden furniture.

Small improvements for everyday life

  • The desktop toy and perch menus update as soon as an item is unlocked. Recent acquisitions appear first, with six items shown and a See all button.

  • The shop shows clearer actions for perches and equipped items.

  • The grooming room reduces its activity while idle and rests while paused or out of view.

Thank you for your feedback, and for making room for these little paws on your desktop!
