Crazy Cat Lady's Cafe

This post is mostly cat pictures, you're forewarned!

This was a combination of many challenges: homeless rags to riches challenge, seven cats challenge, cat generations challenge and five star restaurant building challenge.

Meet Saskia Schrödinger, successful cat-simstagrammer, social media cat meme queen and a restaurant owner. Saskia is Cat Lover, Erratic, Good and started with Animal Friend aspiration. She started on a small lot in Brindleton Bay with zero simoleons to her name.

On her first night she befriended and adopted a stray cat that she named Sacher:

After some fishing and Sacher's feather hunting, she bought a litter box, a food bowl, and adopted a mate for Sacher through phone. Meet Strudel, here play-wrestling with Sacher:

Winter arrived, but Saskia never worried, even though home was an empty snow-covered lot:

They spent the nights at the museum on the lighthouse island, and Strudel soon became very... heartful.

Realizing that there might soon be kittens, Strudel got busy hunting feathers, and soon they had a small shed with enough room for a bed, food bowl and litter box. Soon Torte was born!

She needed a mate, so a quick phone call adoption later, Kaiser joined the family:

Saskia tried her hand in fishing, but Brindleton Bay was frozen most of the time, so she went to warmer climates often. She always brought all the cats with her, she never goes anywhere without them. Here they're waiting for her to find her way to the Grotto.

By the time Torte and Kaiser grew up, the shack had been upgraded with a fireplace, but it wasn't enough, soon enough there was need for Saskia to learn some vet skills.

Torte was first a bit dubious about this grown-up-cat-thing, here eyeing Kaiser dubiously. Or the fireplace, the poor thing is afraid of fireplace.

For a good reason, apparently!

But of course nature took its course, and here's Quark!

After Torte hit 250 simstagram followers, and Saskia could afford to get a computer, she joined social media career. Her erratic nature makes her unfit for any other job, but taking pictures of cats and flailing excitedly about them? Absolutely her alley!

In the picture above also the adopted Quark-mate, Marzipan!

What happened next is obvious:

Kaffee was born to complete the pack of desserts:

Here Kaffee with grandpa Kaiser:

While cats were busy fulfilling their legacy of four generations of felines, Saskia continued vet studies (absolutely important when having seven furry friends):

She's getting really good at it, and since after Kaffee was born, Sacher and Strudel, the first couple became elders, vet skills are necessary:

The original residential shack was a cat hangout and constantly had all the strays of the neighborhood, but when she opened the Crazy Cat Cafe, she had to get rid of that. (Game doesn't allow restaurants to have Cat Hangout lot trait.) Fortunately seven cats running around the premises fulfills the name's promise!

Saskia tries her best, but regardless of her social media and simstagram simoleons, and occasional fishing, it's clear that the cafe, healthcare basement and her living quarters were all funded by these three and their bird-hunting skills:

House-tour! Basement has all the three vet clinic machines and very cheap computer corner.

Ground floor has the living quarters and a teeny tiny catnip greenhouse, as well as the cafe, including kitchen and public bathroom.

Upstairs has more cafe tables, and a karaoke machine! Although the customers don't always quite appreciate Saskia's yowling...

  • super cute!! I'm gonna be doing a "cat lady bakery" myself soon. definitely downloading this!
  • Thank you, both! I hope you'll have fun with it!

    Seven kitties was surprisingly easy with this sim, since they were her priority. Everything else could always wait when it was time to pet them all, so they stayed very happy and healthy. I wouldn't try this with a career or family-focused sim!
