A new video game that includes a brave cat is popular with cat lovers. Some of them are using the game to raise money for real cats. The game was released last month. It is called “Stray.” A stray animal is one without a home. Many stray cats and dogs live on city streets. Thanks to online fundraising services, gamers are playing “Stray" live for audiences to raise money for animal shelters and other cat-connected organizations. Annapurna Interactive, the game's creator, publicized “Stray” by offering two cat rescue and adoption agencies copies of the game to give away. Livestreaming game play for charity is not new. But the quick popularity of “Stray” is a bit unusual. It was the fourth most watched game on the day it was first shown on Twitch, the video game streaming site. Viewers watch as players send the game’s cat through a city to solve problems and escape enemies. The cat in the game does all this while doing usual cat activities, like scratching, jumping or hitting things off tables.
