Paws & Cans-Cross Logic Game

Cute cats. Clever logic.

Paws & Cans is a cat puzzle game where every feline needs its own can of food and a little personal space. Follow the number clues, place cats on the grid, and work out how to pair every cat with a can.

A few simple rules turn an empty square into an interesting choice. Look closely, think ahead, and enjoy the satisfaction of solving a logic puzzle one placement at a time.

How to play

• Place cats in empty squares. The cans are fixed in place.
• Pair each cat with a can directly above, below, to the left, or to the right.
• Every cat and every can must belong to exactly one pair.
• Cats cannot touch one another, even diagonally.
• Match the number of cats in each marked row and column to its number clue.

A cat can be next to several cans, but it only pairs with one. Make sure every can has its own cat as you work through the board.

Follow the clues, find the cats

Look for the places where a cat can fit and the spaces you can rule out. A row marked zero needs no cats. When a row has all the cats it needs, no more belong there. Each deduction helps narrow the possibilities across the grid.

These number clues work together with the pairing and spacing rules. A choice that fits one row must also work for its column and the cats nearby.

A playful twist on grid puzzles

Cats need room to enjoy their food. Finding the right arrangement means balancing who sits where with how many cats belong in each line. The cat theme gives every placement a purpose, while the rules keep your reasoning at the heart of the puzzle.
