The developers recommend using a controller over keyboard and mouse for Little Kitty, Big City because it’s more optimized for controllers. The game supports a variety of controllers even via Steam, so compatibility isn’t an issue either.
If you don’t have a controller, however, you can always use a mouse and keyboard—it’s just a bit uncomfortable that’s all.
