The character animation is cute. Unlike what some people said, I actually like the 3D objects while playing as a 2D character, I feel that this makes it unique. I do wish you still had the grapple move, I understand that it's  difficult to make it work properly, but I'm sure that it will work just as well as a basic attack, you could even make the game a bit more challenging by giving Grapple Cat an end lag after an attack leaving them vulnerable for a short time to recoil their grappler, making the player have to time their attacks. Keep up the good work.
