Key Takeaways

  • The 26 cat villagers in Animal Crossing make up 5.3% of the roster, the highest of any species, and as a result many fans love this type of NPC.
  • One particularly dedicated fan created keycaps of their favorite cat villagers, those beingTangy, Punchy, and Bob.

As a long-time enthusiast of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and a dedicated keyboard customizer, I find myself utterly captivated by this crafty fan’s impressive work. The creation of keycaps featuring beloved cat villagers like Tangy, Punchy, and Bob not only showcases the artist’s skill but also speaks to the depth of their affection for these digital creatures.

A savvy lover of “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” has creatively customized a section of their keyboard with keys sporting the faces of their beloved cat-villager characters from this charming game. Although “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” allows players to create homes for various animal villagers, this enthusiast has opted to focus on cats for their unique computer decorations.

Among approximately 500 diverse animal residents that can inhabit the player’s island in “Animal Crossing: New Horizons”, there are 26 charming cat villagers, representing over 5.3% of the game’s total collectible species. This makes cats the most common type of resident, with squirrels following closely behind at 22 different villagers and a variety of birds (excluding more specific types like chickens and eagles) in third place with 21 unique residents.

A talented enthusiast of the series has crafted three beloved cat villagers from “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” into custom keycaps, using a PBT keycap base and stylized polymer clay. Specifically, Tangy, Punchy, and Bob are now found on the i, u, and y keys of the keyboard. It’s uncertain if the creator intends to expand this collection with additional personalized keycaps for the same keyboard; however, there is enough feline representation in “Animal Crossing: New Horizons” to potentially create a set for every alphabet letter.
