Slide a cat into a box. It is exactly as simple, and exactly as hard, as it sounds. Kitty in the Box is a one-finger arcade game about cats, boxes and timing. Aim, let go, and watch your kitty slide across the floor and into the box. Push too hard and it goes over the edge. NEW IN 2.0.2: MY CATS Visit your cats on the new My Cats page. Pet them to grow your bond, listen to each cat's own voice, and break open a piggy bank full of sardines that fills up as you play. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Adventure Mode The floor starts wide and keeps shrinking under you. An eagle swoops if you stand still, a cow wanders into your path, and a flock of pigeons goes after your sardines. Clear phase after phase, see how far you can get, and climb the leaderboard. Classic Mode The original game: a path of cakes, a row of tricky boxes, and fruit to grab on the way. Choose the original hold controls or the newer swipe controls, and switch whenever you like in Settings. COLLECT EVERY CAT - 19 kitties to unlock, each with its own look. Earn them by completing challenges or with sardines. - 31 hats and accessories to dress them up. - Daily missions and login rewards that pay out sardines. MADE FOR SHORT BREAKS - Play with one finger, one run at a time. - Works offline. No connection needed to play. - English, Chinese and Russian. Kitty in the Box is free to play with ads.
