Insofar as Lovecraft was enamoured of cats, that inscrutable species plays a not-insignificant role in tales such as ‘The Cats of Ulthar’, ‘The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath’ and others; unsurprisingly, thsis has manfested in the tabletop rpg arena in the form of a number of feline-themed Lovecraftian games;
Cathulhu by Sixtystone Press is one such - an iteration of the
Call of Cthulhu rpg engine, which allows players to take on the role of cats intent on protecting humanity from the terrible forces of the Cthulhu mythos - presumably receiving a good head-scratch and a generous portion on catnip as reward for their endeavours...
