After you complete the tutorial, the gameplay follows a simple cycle: Buy goodies from the shop, place goodies in your yard, wait for cats to visit, then collect the fishy gifts (in-game currency) left behind by the cats after they depart your domicile. Over 60 cats may grace you with their presence. The majority are lured by just food in the dish and a goody in the yard. Others are more finicky and demand either premium food or specific goodies.
