Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Sling a Kitty at none against Cat Bird!'s shown. Sling a Kitty also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Cat Bird!'s advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 113). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
