Cat Hunt Simulator: Burrow & Pounce Cats don’t just watch — they hunt. Cat Hunt Simulator: Burrow & Pounce is an interactive iPhone and iPad game designed specifically for cats, recreating the complete feline hunt cycle: stalk → chase → capture Most cat apps show moving dots. This one lets your cat tear into the hunt. Prey hide beneath layered surfaces — paper, grass, snow, and cardboard — creating visible bulges as they move below. Your cat swipes, taps, and pounces to break through and capture what’s hiding underneath. Built for cats. Tuned for instinct. Loved by humans. Why Cats Love It • Full hunt loop — not just chasing • Real surface tearing and deformation • Proximity-aware prey reactions • Adjustable energy modes • High-contrast visuals for feline vision • Spatial audio synced to prey movement Active enrichment — not passive screen watching. Prey Types Each creature behaves differently to keep your cat engaged: • Rodents — natural scurry paths with pauses • Spiders — fast, erratic movement • Birds — fly, land, and sprint • Frogs — hop and peek from grass and snow • Butterflies — flutter above with darting motion • Fish (Premium) — flop, slide, and react across surfaces • Mixed Mode (Premium) — combine multiple prey types Fish introduce a new style of hunt: • Motion-based flop sounds • Distinct capture sound and visual effect • Ground prey flee when fish get close • Natural collisions between creatures • Idle fish settle into grass All prey use animated motion and tuned behaviors for a lifelike hunt. Smarter, More Dynamic Creatures • Frogs face their next hop direction • Butterflies move more unpredictably • Improved capture feedback across prey • Refined collision and respawn systems Destructible Surfaces Your cat doesn’t just chase — they break through: • Paper — easy tearing with crinkle effects • Grass — blades part and sway • Snow — footprints and burst particles • Cardboard — tougher, slower reveals Surface bulges show where prey is hiding. Energy Modes • Kitten — fast (3 minutes) • Adult — balanced (5 minutes) • Senior — gentle (7 minutes) Smart Session Features • Auto-replay with rest intervals • Shuffle mode for variety • Mixed prey sessions (Premium) • Creature cap keeps gameplay clear • Reliable respawn system • Session stats and shareable results • Works across iPhone and iPad Immersive Sensory Design • Day/night lighting cycle • Prey freeze or bolt near paws • Natural stop-and-go movement • Edge escape bursts • Spatial audio positioning • Dark mode optimized for cats Kitty’s Secret Stash The optional Catnip Boost adds dynamic color effects for one enhanced session. Premium Options Upgrade to Premium to: • Unlock all prey (including Fish) • Enable Mixed Mode • Unlock all surfaces • Remove ads Subscriptions available weekly, monthly, or yearly (3-day free trial on yearly plan) Built for Cats — Not Humans Designed around real feline behavior for meaningful indoor enrichment. If your cat loves to stalk, swipe, and pounce, the hunt starts now. Big Monk Games Built for curious cats and the humans who love them.
