Pounce: Games for Cats

Is your cat bored? Lay your phone or tablet on the floor, pick a prey and let the hunt begin.

The prey scurries, swims and buzzes like the real thing, and it is built for paws: a catch counts on contact — even if your cat already has another paw resting on the screen — and the prey wriggles when caught before coming back.

12 HUNTING GAMES
Mouse, laser, fish, ladybug and butterfly are free and complete, with no time limits. Bee, bird, fly, roach, grasshopper, spider and lizard are added by Pounce Premium, the optional subscription.

AND A CALM SECTION
Four slow drifting objects — feather, bubbles, leaves and stars — for the cat that is not in the mood to hunt. Feather and bubbles are free.

MADE FOR CAT EYES
Cat Vision paints the prey teal on a dark background, at maximum contrast. The lures sound real — the bee buzzes, the mouse squeaks — and the vibration follows the chase.

YOU RUN THE HUNT
Speed, size and number of prey, per game. Prey that darts off the screen and comes back, or stays put, your call. Mix mode rotates prey on its own so your cat never gets bored, and the scoreboard keeps catches and records per game.

NOTHING YOUR CAT CAN BREAK
Not a single ad, ever: there is nothing a paw can tap by accident. Leaving the game takes a press-and-hold, and every setting lives behind a humans-only lock. Works on tablets and Chromebooks too, portrait and landscape.

NO TRICKS
No ads, no account, no data collection: the whole app works offline. Pounce Premium is an optional subscription, monthly or yearly, that renews itself until you cancel and unlocks the four extra prey and the Cat Cam, which snaps photos of your cat mid-hunt with the front camera; photos never leave your device.

Every cat is different: if yours does not react at first, try slow speed, another prey or Cat Vision. The in-app tips help you set up the hunt (a stable surface, a screen protector for heavy scratchers, and how to pin the screen so your cat stays in the app).
