Unused Animations#
Cat_Listen#
Android v1.0 - v1.2.4 |
Android v1.3.1 - 1.3.99 |
|---|---|
 |
 |
"Cat_Listen" in v1.0 - v1.2.4 and "Listen" in v1.3.1 and onwards was intended as a smooth transition between Tom's standing and listening frames for when the player talks to him (in versions prior to 1.4.0). This transition happens instantly in-game. Most likely cut because having to watch this every time the player performs the app's signature function would get tiring pretty fast. In v1.4.0 and onwards, only a single frame remains, with unused frames being removed.
A similar transition would later be featured in Talking Pierre and My Talking Tom.
Anti-Piracy#
If the game detects it was a pirated version, the voice will be extremely fast and it will be unusable. This was removed in later versions of the app.
Revisional Differences#
Originally, both Tom himself and the background were stock assets purchased from TurboSquid. In 2016, both were replaced with original assets matching newer entries in the franchise, with Tom becoming much cuter and less uncanny, and the background becoming more detailed. In 2025, the game is now completely different from the two. The background is not using the brick wall background. Tom himself is now a 3d model instead of pre-rendered sprites, and added clothes to him.

Misc#
- Versions prior to v1.3.1 had the frames of the animations separate from the background and in folders named Cat_[animation] (This was only for the Android version.)
- The package name in the iOS version of 1.0 was called "com.outfit7.TalkingCat" or "com.outfit7.talkingcat". It was renamed to "com.outfit7.talkingtom" in version 1.6.

- The milk button in the iOS version of 1.0 was a still image of the cup, rather than a button graphic.
2016 Version#
- From versions 3.1 to 3.2.2, there used to be bubbles on the food section, which when used, they would make Tom drink bubble soap and then hiccup a bubble. It was removed later, probably to prevent children from copying this behavior.
Revamped/New Features#
A number of features were revamped, as well as some new ones.
