Being an irreverent, humoristic character Talking Tom and Friends popularity is being built on the different ways to interact with him. While classic functions include stroking and brushing him, which will make him purr, and stubbing him, which will cause equally funny reactions up to even making him go unconscious. Never losing his good mood though, his most popular classic function is to repeat the user’s words in his unique voice.

The newest Talking Tom and Friends app allows the user to raise Talking Tom from a young kitten to adult Talking Tom and features many new functions such as Tom getting bored, hungry or needing to go to the loo.
