Fiete Cats

Fiete found three little kittens and is looking for a reliable kid to adopt them. Thanks to the augmented reality technology, you are able to let your cat appear wherever you like. In cute animations your cat shows you what she needs, and if you take care of her you quickly become best friends. The integrated video function enables the creation of cute cat videos to share with friends and family.
