[[File:neko clap.png|200px]]The player's main job is to clap in to the rhythm allocated by the first two cats by pressing the A button to clap with them, or if necessary when two mice appear in the background instead of two cats during the gameplay. If they are about to spin, hold the B button to spin along with the other two and release at the right time. If they notice a fish from above, you need to press A quickly to catch it before the other two do.

*During [[Practice]], each section is preceded by a count of "A one, a two, a one, two, three, go!" In Japanese, these voice clips are reused from games such as [[Mr. Upbeat|Ura Otoko]] and [[Cosmic Dance|Cosmo Dance]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', as opposed to using the female announcer introduced in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
*At one point, the first two kitties are replaced with [[Backup Mice]].
== Trivia ==
*The tasty fish resembles the [[Quicknibble]] from [[Catch of the Day]].
* The fish the cats catch resembles the [[Quicknibble]] from [[Catch of the Day]].
**The fish is a loose reference to the "Bucket of Fish" drum fill that plays in those moments.

==Development History==
* Parodies of Kitties! have appeared all over the Internet, particularly YouTube, showcasing cats as different characters from other animes or cartoons clapping, spinning and aiming for the fish.

* It's possible that this game is based off [[The Clappy Trio]], as they have similar rhythms.

Listen closely to land those claps, kitty. Don't neglect them spins! Don't miss out on fishy prospects!
Eh. Passable.
Killer claps, cool cat! Such snazzy spins! Your enthusiasm paid off!
You clap well, you get a fish. You clap poorly, you don't. If you're slow when we hand out the fish, you don't get any. We don't just pet every kitty that comes through here.
