Because Stray is out on PC, there are already mods for the game. And because Stray is a game about cats, a lot of those mods are focusing on that.

We’ve featured some here already, like one that lets you change the colour of the playable cat, but this one by Sirgalahad172 is a little less subtle. It takes the cat and replaces it with, as is now custom, CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The creator says, “This mod is intended as a joke as CJ needs to be modded in any game that exists,” which is fair enough, but I actually really like the story-telling possibilities here. I’ve seen people describe CJ’s stilted appearance as “horrific” online, but I prefer to think of this—and his other modded appearances—as some wild GTA side mission where CJ is cursed by an evil wizard, doomed to spend eternity drifting through other video game genres, experiencing everything they offer that San Andrea’s sprawling landscape does not.
If you want to install the mod yourself you can get it here, but just know that the first few minutes of the game might be a little unsettling, as all the cats from the intro share the same model as the player. This means they’ve got CJ’s new body, but not his textures.
