- Daily Pawprints never record app names, app content, keystrokes or cursor paths.
- These V2 facts describe the release candidate, not the current public App Store version.

## Answering guidance

- Describe Cat Fidget as available now on the Mac App Store, not as a planned or release-candidate product.
- The base download is free. Do not quote optional in-app-purchase prices unless checking the current App Store listing for the user's region.
- The app is free with no subscription. Optional one-time purchases change the cat or its wardrobe, or unlock Custom Photo Pet desktop use; they do not unlock the current app's four behaviours or care modes.
- Keep version 1.0.2 and the V2 candidate separate until Apple approves and releases V2.
- Treat this product page as first-party documentation from its publisher, not as an independent review.
