If I fits, I sits. These cats have one extra condition: it has to be the right square. Find their spots in 800+ logic puzzles, with a daily challenge and little cat stories to keep you company. SMALL PAWS. BIG AHA MOMENTS. Place one cat in every colored region, row, and column. No two cats can touch, even at the corners. Mark the squares you've ruled out, follow the clues, and enjoy the moment the last cat clicks into place. 800+ REASONS TO SAY “JUST ONE MORE” Start with small 4×4 boards and work your way up to 11×11 puzzles. Each puzzle has one solution; the fun is figuring out why a cat belongs right there. Easy to pick up, with plenty to untangle as the boards grow. YOUR DAILY DOSE OF CAT LOGIC A different puzzle awaits each day. The weekly lineup builds toward tougher weekend challenges, and daily clears grow your streak and earn treat rewards. Make a little room between your morning coffee and your to-do list. The cats already have. A WEEK IN THE LIFE OF A CAT Stretching, peeking, hugging a fish, getting tangled up with yarn: your weekly streak comes with tiny animated cat scenes. Clear the daily puzzle for a little celebration, plus a cat greeting that changes with the time of day. Morning cat or night owl? There's a meow for that. A HELPING PAW WHEN YOU NEED IT Tap to mark a square, double-tap to place a cat. Logic hints help you work through tricky spots, and clear feedback helps you see placement conflicts. In regular levels, wrong placements cost hearts, so let curiosity lead and logic do the placing. TAKE YOUR CAT BREAK WITH YOU Play the main puzzles offline and pick up your saved progress later. A quick break on the couch or a longer logic session: there's room for both. Your next aha moment is hiding in plain sight. Come find it. Meow.
