The cats come randomly, and the most you can do when the come is take a picture of them and collect gifts after they leave. Even if you check the game many times a day, it doesn't take up a lot of time.
Despite having in-app purchases for gold fish, not buying gold fish with real money doesn't prevent you from enjoying the game. Cats leave you both silver and gold fish as presents, so all parts of the game are accessible without spending real money.
There seem to be parts of the game that get unlocked as you play more, but you don't realize those features exist until they're unlocked, so there's not a lot of motivation to keep playing the game in that respect. For example, once you expand your yard, you unlock yard remodeling. However, it's not immediately apparent that the remodeling drastically changes the orientation of your yard, or that they may or may not increase the size of your yard.
After visiting some number of times (seemingly random), each cat will leave their unique memento. You can keep track of the mementos you've collected, but there's no way to use them in the game.
The game updates quite often with new features, cats and enemies. There are also event stages that are added that get you a new exclusive cat for beating them as well as other prizes too.
