Stray mod lets you play the viral cat game as a dog instead
Dog lovers rejoice as a new mod lets fans play Stray, the viral cat sensation, as a french bulldog instead of the orange tabby.
Annapurna Interactive’s newest titleStrayhas taken the internet by storm following its release on June 06, 2025.
Thousands offans have posted pictures and videos of their pets— both cats and dogs — reacting to their owners controlling the cat on their TV screens.

The mod, called the ‘Happy Puppy’ mod, was created by Chris ‘crubino’ and is available for download onNexusMods.com.
The mod allows players to control a black and white piebald french bulldog puppy, as to have it basically the same size as Stray’s cat.
According to Chris, the mod is still early in development as there are “still so many things” they want to do with it, including adding bark sounds instead of the meow.
Additionally, it seems Chris is also keen on making more skins for the dog instead of the standard black and white variety.
Of course, the mod won’t work flawlessly, as some ofStray’s cat-centric animationslike cleaning itself and scratching furniture will undoubtedly look a bit odd with a dog acting them out.
Still it’s a pretty nice addition for players who prefer dogs over cats, or even players who own a black and white french bulldog of their own.
