Every cat you pass is worth catching. Catemon turns an everyday walk into a cat hunt. Spot a real cat on the street, open your camera, and catch it. Each cat you catch becomes a sticker you keep forever, so your collection grows from the cats you actually meet, not made-up creatures. The more you explore, the more your album fills up. And now every cat you catch lands on your own map, your friends' maps, and the global online map. CATCH REAL CATS Point your camera at any cat you come across and catch it on the spot. The neighbor's cat sunbathing on a wall, the café cat curled up by the door, the bold stray that follows you down the street. Every one of them is a catch waiting to happen. Catemon is built around the real cats already living all around you. Not out for a walk? You can also upload cat photos straight from your gallery and add them to your collection. COLLECT STICKERS Every cat you catch turns into a sticker in your personal album. Build a growing collection one cat at a time and flip back through it whenever you want to see every cat you have found. Your album becomes a little diary of your walks, your trips, and the cats that crossed your path along the way. EXPLORE THE MAP See exactly where you caught each cat on your own map. Spot the streets and corners you have already covered and find new places nearby that are still waiting to be explored. A quick walk around the block can turn into a brand new page in your collection, and a trip to a new part of town can fill it up fast. CATCH TOGETHER WITH FRIENDS Build your inner circle and turn the hunt into something you share. Add friends, see their catches on a shared friend map, and go cat hunting together. Every cat you find shows up for your circle, so you can compare collections, discover each other's favorite spots, and race to fill your albums side by side. GO GLOBAL Curious what's out there beyond your own streets? Open the online map and see cats caught by people all over the world. Explore neighborhoods you've never visited, watch the map light up with catches everywhere, and feel part of one big worldwide community of cat catchers. SIMPLE AND QUICK Catemon keeps things easy. No complicated rules, no clutter, no long setup. Open the app, find a cat, catch it, and move on to the next one. It is made to fit into a normal walk, a coffee run, or a few free minutes outside. MADE FOR CAT PEOPLE If you smile at every cat you see, stop to say hello to strays, and take photos of cats you will never meet again, Catemon is built for you. It gives all those small everyday cat moments a place to live. Your neighborhood is already full of cats. Start catching them, sticker by sticker, with Catemon.
