Cat Games
Feed one, dress one, play as one, or simply accumulate them.
36 games · hand-picked, then filled from the catalogue
The cat is the most efficient animal in any game catalogue, because it works in four different genres without needing a single change.
How this list is put together
As a pet, it is the subject of a care loop: feed it, clean it, treat it, play with it. As a character, it is a platformer protagonist that arrives with its abilities pre-justified — it jumps high, it lands on its feet, it fits through gaps, and no designer has to explain why. As an excuse, it holds up dress-up and decorating games exactly as a princess does. And as a joke, it anchors half a dozen clickers whose entire goal is having more cats.
That versatility is why a search for cat games returns four unrelated experiences, and why this list does not separate them: most people looking do not know which of the four they want until they open one.
On saving: the ones with a cat you return to keep it in your browser, not in an account. It is still there tomorrow on the same device, and it is not there at all if you clear your browsing data.
Questions people ask
Are there games where you actually play as the cat?
A few, and they are the best ones. A cat is a gift to a platformer designer: it jumps high, lands on its feet and fits through gaps, and nobody needs any of that explained.
Do these save my cat between visits?
Some keep progress in your browser, on that device. There is no account behind it, so clearing your browsing data or moving to another computer starts you over.
Are they suitable for young children?
Most are — no chat, no accounts, nothing to buy. The platformers get harder than they look, but nothing here is violent.
