Cat controls are a fun and interactive feature found in the Android 11 Easter Egg. This feature allows you to attract virtual cats to your device and play with them. By adding the water bubbler, food bowl, and toy to your power control menu, you can easily access these controls.

To enable the cat controls, simply tap on “Cat Controls” and select the water bubbler, food bowl, and toy. These options will be added to your power control menu, making it convenient to play the game whenever you want. Once enabled, you can find the cat controls by tapping on the down arrow next to ‘Home’ on your power menu screen and choosing ‘Cat Controls’ from the drop-down menu.

Each cat that appears in the game has a unique number and color, adding to the excitement and variety. You will be able to see your new feline friend in the notification shade, making it easy to keep track of them.

To attract the cats, you can interact with the different controls. Swipe across the water bubble to fill it, tap the food bowl, or tap the toy. Each action will attract a virtual cat to your device, allowing you to play and interact with them.

If you find that the cat controls take up space in your Intelligent Devices menu and you prefer to disable it, you can do so by following the same process as enabling it. Simply go to the power control menu, tap on “Cat Controls,” and deselect the water bubbler, food bowl, and toy. This will remove the feature from your power control menu and revert it back to its default state.

Cat controls in Android 11’s Easter Egg offer a delightful and entertaining experience. By attracting virtual cats to your device using water, food, and toys, you can enjoy playing and interacting with these adorable feline companions.
