NEW FEATURE: 💤Sleepy Cats
🐱Adding a new Cat Need: Sleep.
At the end of each workday cats with the Sleep Need (all cats after the first upgraded Stray Cat Lure) will want to sleep in a cat bed.
The 2 Cat Litterbox Shrine upgrades have been changed to 'Cat Comforts', and now include 6 cat beds to unlock. Place these in your cafe for your cats to sleep in; but higher Sleep Need cats want better beds!
Cats that cannot sleep in a bed because your bed score isn't high enough will complain instead. The following day these cats will be unavailable for 3 to 5 hours as they sleep during the day. Better get them their catnap!
NEW FEATURE: 📦Bonner's Ingredient Delivery Service
🐱Have your ingredients delivered!
Complete the game (by finishing all the Shrine Upgrades) to unlock Bonner's newly provided service!
Once unlocked, you can purchase the new Delivery Service at the Food Market shop.
After purchasing, click the 🔁button next to an Ingredient at the Food Market shop to turn on 'auto delivery'. Once turned on, you will automatically purchase that ingredient whenever you run out! If you cannot afford it at this time, the game will give you a little notification, and turn off the auto delivery for now.
NEW CONTENT: ⛩️Eastern Teahouse Furniture Set
This new high level furniture set includes tables, chairs, wallpapers, floors, kitchen utensils and decor that will allow you to turn your cat cafe into a beautiful teahouse, inspired by Chinese and Japanese designs.
We hope you'll use these to build a beautiful cafe!

- FIX: Cats can no longer have multiple ‘Play’ or ‘Calm’ tasks anymore.
- FIX: Improved the language system when changing languages between saves.
We really really hope you enjoy the update!
I put this in our update announcement, but I think it'd be good to repeat here:
The Naptime Update will be the final major update for Cat Cafe Manager.
To be clear, this won't mean we'll stop fixing bugs and issues that come up!
It's just that we've started prototyping and developing really exciting new games to work on beyond CCM, and we're now at a point in development that we've gotta focus our small team's attention on them full-time.
I can't yet talk about these new games, but I can guarantee we'll keep doing what we do best: make wholesome & interesting management games! We'll post on the Roost Games discord and twitter once we can show stuff off!
Again, we really hope you enjoy the update. If you run into anything, or have any feedback, definitely let us know, OK? Until next time!
From me (Rick) and all of Roost Games (Rutger, Carmen, Joni and Sonya)...
thanks so much for playing our little cat game!
