  • It was amazing but will no longer work on older model IPads

    My 10- year old cat loved this app. He played for hours. We dedicated an old IPad to his play and left it on all the time. That was the best aspect to the game for us. He could always play when he wanted to. We wiped the IPad of everything but this game and recommended it to everyone. But our old IPad had to be restored and the old app we were using was wiped out. The Apple folks updated our 2012!! Gen 3 to OS 9 and we can’t run the app anymore. We can’t spend hundreds if dollars for a new IPad just for the cat. I suspect I am not alone in turning over an old IPad to a pet. Can we get an older version back?

  • Had to buy a phone for my cat now 🙄

    Well, this ruined my cat. He will physically and forcefully attempt to remove my phone from my pocket, my friend’s phones from their pockets, etc. He will grab the phone out of your hand, he will stick his face right in front of it, nose to screen, and occasionally bite the corner of it if it’s not releasing the mice. So of course, we had to buy him his own phone. We went to apple and he picked out the most expensive one, after testing the whackability of all of the available models. He will be requiring a cell phone plan soon - no doubt. Be careful showing this game to your cat… you will create a cell phone thieving fluffermonster. To summarize: Best cat game ever ❤️

  • Excellent but mouse is too frequent for my cat

    My cat is very interested in this app initially but she seems to become bored because the mouse is too often visible, and she ends up just staring but not attacking. If possible, an option / slider setting to make the mouse hide for longer off-screen and take more time to reappear would be perfect for her. Ideally the mouse would be able to occasionally hide for even a few minutes at a time, since that’s the style of play my cat seems to enjoy with real toys. (Waiting and ambushing). This way I could leave the app on for long periods of time without her getting bored of it and finding it too predictable. Another idea could be a mode where the screen goes black after ~10 minutes but can be reactivated by a tap. That way my cat can turn it on when she wants it but it can be blank when she’s not interested (this way she doesn’t get bored of it seeing it running all the time and stops caring). She already knows to tap her physical toys when she wants to play so I’m sure she would learn that tapping the iPad will allow her to play if I leave it running on the floor for her. I know development takes time and labor but I would gladly pay even more for these extra features so that I can tailor the game to my cat’s personality. Thank you!

    Thanks for your feedback, we can make option to keep mouse longer off-screen, but during tests while mouse were too long off-screen cats started to dig under iPad or just flipping device to find the mouse :) Did you try new Hunt mode where hit kills the mouse and new one come on the scene?
  • Depends on the cat

    When I first got the app my 3yo cat wasn’t interested in it, he’s never been one for screens though. I just got a 8-9 mo kitten though….. she is obsessed. I’ve tried a few cat apps but THIS one makes her crazy she will literally play for so long! I do wish the mice wouldn’t always run off the screen as she thinks they go under. That being said she will literally bite and claw at my iPad when she wants to play to get me to turn it on, it’s like a crazy iPad kid lol. Definitely worth the download to try. I feel like it’s a good enriching activity so I let her do it now and then. Make sure your iPad has screen protector/good case though!

  • Murphy Approved App: It’s Purrfect!

    Review from Murphy, the crazy little cork-tailed cat: This app will is amazing! Mom installed it on her iPad and is now regretting it. I love this app! It is fun and engaging to paw at and stomp on mice as they run across the screen. When I catch one under my paw, the mouse stays stuck there until I lift my paw.
    Mom says that the problems start when she turns off the iPad or when she needs to use the iPad ad for herself. I know there are still mice in there, so I keep pawing at the iPad. Mom says I should limit my app time or take a break from the app for a while. I don’t agree with her. I need to get those mice!

  • Love the game

    The one thing that my cat doesn’t really like that much is when you go to the menu or close the game it deletes all your progress. We just got to the cheetah mouse and he was really excited and then all of a sudden I click the menu and boom when I went back I’ll progress gone cat got mad and now I have to click the mouse 200 times not the cat me other than that it’s like the best game ever I have to say will give a five star review. why is this so amazing I mean I am somebody that was looking for a game for so long for my cats and then I was like wow there’s some that have prescriptions that are not bad, but this one compared to them is amazing. Do I have to go on

  • 2 hours of cat entertainment!

    Just downloaded today, but for a free app it has already earned 5 stars from me. Both my cats were interested, but I knew one of them would likely be more into it, and it kept him interested for a solid two hours. He alternated between wildly pawing at the mouse and sitting back to watch. At one point he’d wandered off so I’d put the ipad away… a short time later he came back to lay where the ipad had been and looked at me til I got it back out and opened this game for him again! It would be nice if it had a function to make it less likely that cats will end up swiping out of the app, but in that time I only had to get him back to the app twice.

  • Love the app but disappointed there’s no sound

    Originally I added this app to my phone and my cat absolutely loved it. After I added it to my iPad my cat spent even more time playing the game because we weren’t fighting for the phone. 🤣 I recently got a new iPad with a bigger screen and I was so excited to show her the game but there’s no sound. I have checked the settings on my phone and even deleted/ reinstalled the app but there’s no sound. I see other reviews that mention the same issue.

  • My cat loves it!!

    One of my cats loves watching games especially ones that move and have little light effects. She would smack peoples hands especially if you were playing it on your phone or even try to “eat” at it.

    I downloaded this on my tablet instead, she pushed my phone underneath the couch. 🙃 Plus it has a sturdier screen protector!

    She’s playing the mini game now and she’s going so crazy. 😆 And also, she can turn the app off accidentally just found that out. So is there a way to lock it?

    Love it and I recommend it. Especially if you want to keep your cats busy. Marm approved!

  • My cat loves this game!

    My kitty plays this game every day and never gets tired of it. He loves the noises the mice make when they are caught and even though he has been playing for weeks now he still tries to catch the mice with his mouse and tries to look behind the iPad to see where the mouse went! I laugh every time I watch him play! Fun for my cat and me!
