Well, I ran out of time before I could make this into an actual game (I started from scratch, and I did lots of other things over the weekend), but I learned a lot of things I didn't know about the annoying way C++ does class inheritance in the process, and THAT'S what matters!
The "low-level"ness of this is that I used C++ and SDL2.
My wife drew the house, and I drew the kitty. My wife also drew a whole sheet of a bunch of other pretty background objects which I didn't have time to put in the game; I need to come up with some sort of level-editing pipeline, and then I definitely plan to keep working on this! The code is up on github (the Source link) so if you check back there in the future you just might find an actual game at some point.
I develop on Linux at home, but I managed to get it compiled for Windows, using cygwin on my computer at work!
Sorry I don't have a binary for Linux (I'm not sure how to distribute Linux binaries...) but it's very straightforward to compile:
1. Install SDL2 (http://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php)
2. Go into the kitty-town directory and type make
