The Games for Cats - Cat Toy app has the same prey and plays full screen without browser bars. With Premium, Cat Cam snaps a photo of your cat at the moment of the catch, and a mixed-prey level puts several kinds of prey on screen at once.

Get the free app

Put your phone or tablet on the floor, and tap a hunt. A mouse, a fish, a bug or a laser dot dashes across the screen, and every catch rewards your cat with a sound. Nothing to install: it plays right here in your browser.

How to play

Tap a hunt to start it. The game fills the screen, so your cat can paw anywhere without leaving the page. To change the speed, size or number of prey, open Settings first.

To stop, press and hold the X in the top-left corner for two seconds. A quick tap from a paw won't close the game.

Tips for a happy hunter

Lay the device flat on the floor or a sofa and turn up the brightness. A tablet gives your cat more room to chase.

Start with slow, large prey for kittens and older cats. Fast, small prey and several targets at once suit experienced hunters.

Try Cat Vision. Cats see blues and greens best, so this mode turns the prey bright cyan against a dark, muted background.

Keep sessions short and let your cat win often. If your cat plays rough, a screen protector keeps claws off the glass.

Frequently asked questions

Is this cat game free?
Yes. It's free to play in your browser, with no sign-up and no ads during play.
Does it work on phones, tablets and computers?
Yes, in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows or Mac. A phone or tablet lying flat works best, because your cat can touch the screen.
Why can't I hear any sound?
Check that Sound is on and your device isn't muted. On iPhone, silent mode also mutes sounds in the browser.
What if my cat ignores the screen?
Try another prey: many cats prefer the laser dot or the fish. Turn the sound on, try a slower speed, and tap the prey yourself a few times to catch your cat's attention.
Will my cat scratch the screen?
Cats tap with their soft paw pads most of the time, but claws can scratch. Trimmed claws or a screen protector keep the screen safe.
Is there an app?
Yes. Games for Cats - Cat Toy is free on Google Play and the App Store and plays full screen. Premium adds Cat Cam and a mixed-prey level.
