Verify clean device start: No apps should run after restart, sounds should work as expected.
How to restart iOS device:
1. Hold down the on/off button and home button at the same time.
2. Keep holding, you need to hold both buttons down for about 10 seconds.
While holding, you may see the “slide to power off” screen show up, just ignore this.
You’ll know that your device has been successfully refreshed once the Apple logo displays on the start up screen, you can now release the buttons.
5. Wait for your iPad to start up; usually after a hard refresh, it can take 1-2 minutes.

The mouse goes where the screen is touched.
Game frequently breaks, needs restarts & by then the cat is bored. Doesn’t take long to glitch & nothing fixes it.
Update? Jan 28, 2025 ★★★ assilem72
Not sure what’s going on. It’s a good game, my cats really like it, but all of a sudden it has no sound. Not sure if maybe there was an update that messed up the sound?
Wonderful Aug 14, 2024 ★★★★ CAT!❤️❤️❤️
This app is wonderful my cat loves too play it although I have tested this app on many cats and there are some cats that don’t like the game but it all really depends on the cat. The thing keeping this from getting a 5 is that I can’t really customize or edit the way it’s played.
My cat learned how to play but when I took the tablet away he was confused May 18, 2024 ★★★★ Mommma Momma
My cat was scratching the sides of the tablet when the mouse went out of the screen he was like where’d the mouse go

Best cat game ever Nov 10, 2023 ★★★★★ Lesalisge
If your ever bored just download this game for your cats just watch your cats catch the mice and they can try to eat it.
Surprisingly Great Oct 15, 2023 ★★★★★ WrongSkulls
It’s a great app that my cat really loves! I let her play for about 20 mins a day. No obnoxious ads, the sound doesn’t drive me crazy - basically it does what it says on the tin. I’m impressed. It’s far better than other games for cats.
Needs to trigger prey drive a bit better Jun 06, 2023 ★★★ JaredS215
If the mice held off screen for a bit longer. Cats get curious when they can’t see something for awhile.
My cat loves it! May 20, 2023 ★★★★★ Catbot145

Mouse game Nov 16, 2022 ★★ Kaitlyn1987
I downloaded this game for my cat and it no longer makes noises it’s quite. I tried it on different things like tablet and phones and my iPad it don’t work no noise. My cat isn’t liking the game cause it don’t make a sound for her.
My cat loves this app Nov 09, 2022 ★★★★★ Geometry Dash Player!
I had this app for her for a while, then switched phones, tried a different app at first, she just stared at it sleepily, but then when I downloaded this one she immediately sat up alert and started playing again, it’s her favourite app!
awesome! Oct 28, 2022 ★★★★★ chipmonkey 12
thank you for making this game. i have three cats and they all love this game
Great app for some cats Sep 28, 2022 ★★★★★ Kevin2663
I have two cats, my female cat loves the app and goes nuts on my phone, and the male cat could not care less.
Where is the sound? Aug 16, 2022 ★★★ Tiktokked off
My kitten absolutely loves this game so much, but I’m sure she’d enjoy it even more if the mouse squeaked. It used to do so, but since downloading the game on my new iPad, it doesn’t. Yes, I have the sound enabled.
Don’t download this Crap Jul 23, 2022 ★ Sponge neighbor
It’s boring like what is this game?! mouse for cats?! It sucks! And I hate it!
V good Feb 26, 2022 ★★★★★ nuts/deez
Much much better than the other games meant for cats that are available
Please fix crashes! Feb 14, 2022 ★★ Scrapthat
I have a new iPad and it takes about ten tries to get inas it crashes in title screen, if you get to the start - more crashes…once you break in the cat LOVES it!! Please fix! If it didn’t crash so much it would be five stars for sure!

Great Game! Dec 03, 2021 ★★★★★ Kismutt
My cat loves this game. I paid for the full version to give the devs some cat love 😻. I also appreciate that they read their reviews and try to help with iPad and cat issues alike…🙂.
Thanks for a great game!

Sound Aug 03, 2021 ★★★★★ Mrbulletman135
My new kitten loves this game, but for some reason the sound isn’t working when I use this app on an older gen iPad?
Awesome Aug 02, 2021 ★★★★★ Madyson. S
Besides the fact that my cat knocked my iPad off the table, awesome game! My cat loves it and he is so entertained! Well done.
My Cat Loves This Jul 28, 2021 ★★★★★ WingsOfFire11
Every time I pull out my iPad he always stands up, ready to play it’s so cute! He sometimes try’s to eat the mouse lol. Thanks so much! Really great game. If you have a cat you should get it 😻😻😺😺
Cat cant figure out how it works Jul 23, 2021 ★ mat mat mat mat mat mat mat
He keeps going on the sides of the iPad instead of taping the mouse. He thinks it’s gonna come out the side.
My cat actually plays it Jun 29, 2021 ★★★★★ Effective Against Plaque
I downloaded this on a whim, curious to see if my cat would be interested in it. Short answer? She was. It’s become a normal part of her routine, and she “begs” for it whenever I use my iPad. It’s super cute, and watching her tapping away (and occasionally checking underneath the iPad to see if that’s where the mice are) is great stress relief for me. :) Thank you for taking the absurd idea of a mobile game for cats and making one that they actually enjoy!
Scratch marks Jun 27, 2021 ★★★★ Graciewolve
This game is fun of all but instead of my cat scratching the mouse he scratches me .. Ouch it stings :(
Lock Screen Jun 16, 2021 ★★★ EvilPowers
I’ll give five stars if I can get this resolved. My meower loves this game but I can’t get the screen to lock so she keeps losin it n opening other apps. I thought with the paid version I could select this screen lock option but I can’t seem to figure it out. Can anyone help me n my Kitty?
Aww Jun 03, 2021 ★★★★★ pearl ellora
Thanks a lot ,now I can’t use mi own phone 😤THEY EVEN KNOW THE CODE CUZ THEY PLAY SO MUCH!!!
My cat scratches iPad?🤣 May 27, 2021 ★★★★★ Milt3597
My cat gets super strength when he tries to lift iPad and also scratches it when he wants to eat the mouse so when he scratches it esdredssdse oh that was the cat typing and he scratches the ipad and looks at his hand. And he still. Is waiting and where robot and crown mouse
No Volume May 27, 2021 ★ Cynthia1965
I uploaded the game twice, but no volume at all. My cat was bored. Useless app. I wouldn’t pay a Penny for anything about this game.
Lock in option Apr 19, 2021 ★★★★★ ozzynne
My cat loves this app but she keeps swiping out of it. I wish there was a lock feature so I didn’t have to watch over her to reopen the app every 5 seconds.
Update: Using guided access on my ipad solved the problem.
Mouse for cats Jan 25, 2021 ★★★★ Simpatico gamer
This is a very good game and my cat does love it when he was able use it. Unfortunately I can’t afford to pay for the app so he can’t play it with sound anymore. Without the sound he’s not interested.
Love it but... Jan 24, 2021 ★★★★ JuniorLucyNoelFry
My cats absolutely love this app, however I wish there was a way to “lock” the app. My cats get going and all of a sudden they’re sending emails and starting zoom calls! Great app, just wish I could keep it ON THE APP, once they get going. Thank you :)
Amazing! Jan 23, 2021 ★★★★★ Slate's owner.
100% would recommend this game! My cat thought it was so real that he tried grabbing it from under the tablet! He keeps looking around!
Entertaining for cats and their humans Jan 07, 2021 ★★★★★ Lml88886
My chubby tabby adores this app. To the extent that a) I can’t use my iPad in peace anymore, without him sniffing around it looking for mice, and b) we have to hide the iPad when we go to bed at night to prevent him from knocking it off of tables and shelves, still looking for mice. This is the best of the cat apps we’ve found, and it’s so fun to watch them play 🐱🐭
My cats need their own device Jan 07, 2021 ★★★★★ KiraPlettPhotog
Just like other reviews my cats love this so much that every time I grab my phone they’re fighting me for it. If my phone is sitting anywhere they will knock it around trying to find the mouse.. I have never seen them so entertained by any toy or game! This app has been fun for us all ☺️
L-o-v-e😻 Dec 23, 2020 ★★★★★ Flames Fan 1
My cat loves this game she stares at it when I tap the mouses she scratches me then she chases the mouses she LOVES IT
Yeah- Dec 22, 2020 ★★★★★ Im not Retep Im Peter
I was babysitting a 6 yr old and she wanted a game so I accidentally downloaded this game and she had no complaints next time I came the parent questioned me but eh, the kid liked it I guess
Squeak does not work Dec 15, 2020 ★ Darrkin
Won’t squeak or add mice to screen.
My cat doesn’t give a fuuuuuuuh Nov 13, 2020 ★★★★★ Merganopolyyy
App works great. But my cat has 0 interest 😂😂

This is all my cats favourite app
This game is PAWSOME!!!!!!!😻😻😻 Jun 09, 2020 ★★★★★ Potatoechips5
I love it so much! It may have took Elliott (my cat) a while to figure it out but when he did he loved it! My cat will claw at my iPad to play the game!This game is wonderful!😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
My cat loved it but... Nov 17, 2025 ★★ MaisieMooPoo
Basically, I got this game for my cat and he absolutely loved it. The only problem is is that when I close the app then open it again, after I open it the game just gets stuck on the loading screen and freezes. So I have to reinstall the app again whenever he wants to play it.
Main menu Aug 17, 2025 ★★★ fuhytfiuylhiu
My cat used to love a certain mouse in the game until there were ads on the top of the main menu where you can choose which mouse to use.
Thank you for reading.
good Jan 24, 2024 ★★★★★ kiri warwick
really worked,my first cat got 48 then my other got 68,it attracts cats ✨✨
Amazing Nov 30, 2023 ★★★★★ MCFANTASY
My 5 cats all love this game, they’ve been playing it since they were tiny. Just make sure you use guided access so they can’t accidentally close the app or anything. But this game is awesome.
Kitty’s love this game Aug 19, 2023 ★★★★★ Peanut & Gizmo (the kitty’s)
My kitty’s have given this game 5stars :) they play it every day. i put it on when they lay on me for a nap, they always start purring when they see the mouse. they start off hitting it like crazy, then they lay and watch the mouse for few minutes l, then drift off to sleep. Thank you it’s a very good app.
There was a couple of functionality bugs, If it’s helpful for the developer to take a look at I will post them below:
I’m using an iPhone 11 (sometimes all games react differently on different devices especially if it’s anchor/screen resolution related).
But it I hasnt effected how much my kitty’s live the game.
The sound doesn’t work on mine for some reason (not my phone as I haven’t had any other issues with other apps). According to the game the sound is on and my phone volume is full but nothing.
Also the main menu I can’t seem to click on any buttons besides the play button. I’m guessing this is an anchor issue as when it’s a diff device screen resolution the buttons can lap and become non functional. But it’s not a big deal I can still press play that’s all I need anyway :)
Ads :( Jan 22, 2023 ★★★ luciaetherrr
I used to play this with my kitten about a year ago and it was really good but I’ve redownloaded it and I literally can’t click anything on the menu besides “start” because there is a giant Ad covering half the screen and I can’t get rid of it :(
I highly recommend this to people with cats! Jan 21, 2023 ★★★★★ Zachary Boyd
My cat loves this app and it keeps him busy!
i play it instead of my cats Dec 29, 2022 ★★★★★ gamerUwU44;)

Could be much better Oct 10, 2022 ★★ hampered
So boring, my 9 week old kitten lost interest within 10 seconds.
Best iPad game for cats Sep 29, 2022 ★★★★★ Okulo
My cat loves this. He would spend hours playing it if I didn't need my iPad occasionally. He goes quite mad with it and sometimes suddenly jumps off the bed and runs out of the room only to storm back in and leap straight onto my iPad in a surprise attack. The only problem is that he keeps swiping the screen and hiding the game or opening other apps and I have to help him every five minutes or so and I can't figure out a way of stopping it from happening - but that's an iPad problem not a problem with the game so five stars.
[edit and note to developer]
To prevent my cat from swiping out of the game etc. I now use Guided Access (Accessibility > Guided Access & Accessibility > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut > Guided Access).
Thanks.
P.S. I bought the full version once I discovered this.
Really fun Mar 06, 2022 ★★★★★ drvfchvjjhjkhyxhb
So my cats just stare and try and find we’re they are coming from but I find it addicting yes I find it fun
Great! Mar 04, 2022 ★★★★★ Blanket girl Hazzbo
My cats love this! I have one kitten who literally digs at the screen, my other cat is around 4 and he meows when he sees my iPad because he thinks I’m going to put it on and has become obsessed with screens haha! And my third cat isn’t very playful and even she has a few taps at the screen. Couldn’t recommend enough :)
Highly Recommend Dec 25, 2021 ★★★★★ AnimolsBeCute
I wasn’t expecting my cat 🐈 to actually go for the mouse as she normally sits and watches but when she tapped it a few times and showed she was having fun, I decided that it actually works unlike most cat games I have downloaded. Seeing her watch the mouse and bat it around a little is all the confirmation I need to say that even occasionally lazy cats (like mine but don’t tell her I said this 😳) will probably give it a go😊! TY for 📖 reading! ;-)
Amazing Dec 13, 2021 ★★★★★ NalaCat11
My 2 kittens love this! Definitely recommend no issues been using it for my cat before these two..can’t take them away from it! They love it so much!

Great game, my cousin’s cat loves it he is around 10 weeks old and he goes crazy for the sounds the little mice make! I would say 9 weeks and over cats would love this! He wont play many other games all the others he runs away because he is very scared of most things except this! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
I’m a cat Jul 10, 2021 ★★★★★ Niyyan
So I’m getting two new kittens tomorrow and I’ve been playing with this for ten minutes! And it’s not easy for online games to make me REALLY distracted so I’m sure our new kittens will love this! Whoever created this game is an EVIL genius!🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😻😸😹I’ll add to this comment once our new kittens start playing with this... this may take a few days.LOL

I have a one year old cat and a kitten and they love this! When we first tried them with the app they loved it and they never get board, it rally helped them bond as they were different ages and the kitten play on it when my cat goes out to play!
Definitely recommend I use the free version and it is superb.
My cat loves it Nov 15, 2020 ★★★★★ tigerlillyistig
My cat loves this game she thinks it’s a real mouse she is always playing with stuff around the house and when we put Christmas decs up she just plays with all the borballs so when I showed her this game she loved it when I’m on my phone all she does is come and rub my hand for more she even try’s to get the mouse when it goes of the screen she is waghting for it to come out the phone she try’s to eat the mouse when she has court it it’s so cute
Can’t change the settings?? Nov 11, 2020 ★★★ Taylor Swift Lover 🤩
Soo first of all there is ALWAYS an ad at the top of the screen covering all the skins, and it won’t let me click to put on two mice, so I’m stuck with the same mouse and normal game mode 🥺☹️ but my cat loves it
Great game Sep 19, 2020 ★★★★★ hsbsdb
Absolutely great my kitten loves it download it and see how great it is I'm not lying
Ads ruin what could possibly be a good app Jun 27, 2020 ★ HannibalVexor
I just was unable to select anything. The adverts got in the way of all the options so o could use sound or anything. Without those options my cats were just not interested
Sound wouldn’t work Apr 10, 2020 ★ jadey's kitty
No sound
One thing that I am not sure is supposed to happen... Mar 01, 2020 ★★★★ Belle Manuel
Well you know you have to touch the mouse?well when I tap it I get to excited and I accidentally dragged the mouse and as I dray the mouse it followers my finger but I’m not sure if that’s supposed to happed.bit everything else is ok 👍
Cat is not amused Feb 04, 2020 ★★ Bewdley Porteress
Just tried this with my cat..... she just sat there and watched the screen, didn’t interact with it whatsoever, so rate 2 stars.
Great fun Jan 12, 2020 ★★★★ fredacat
Really good. Kittens mesmerised. Only problem is that they try to find the mouse under the iPad. So gets a bit out of control at times 🙀🙀🙀 and dog is obsessed and gets very competitive and spoils everything 🤣🤣🤣 but for £2.99? Great value fun.
Not good, cat not interested Nov 08, 2019 ★★ tree person with fingers

We have only had a kitten for not a long time her name is Nala she is always trying to climb on my iPad while I’m playing roblox and games like that this game and the fish game is her new fave game the only way I could get my iPad off of her Is a treat!
Zero response Sep 04, 2019 ★ JenT83
Neither of my cats showed the slightest interest in this! Also, couldn’t change the settings. If I had been able to make the mouse go faster, they might have paid more attention.

Took all of 30 seconds for our 2 rescue cats (Siamese and a Burmese) to take part , they absolutely love it.

When ever the iPad is on my cat, Gus is always there waiting until I go onto the game😂
Addictive Apr 14, 2019 ★★★ Capricornwhite
My cats love this game. If I ever need them out of a room or to call them, start the game, a couple of squeaks later and they’re there. For some reason, I can’t change any of the options though. This is really annoying.
Happy cat and kitten Jan 02, 2019 ★★★★★ T_29
My kitten has so much energy, I just put this game on and she loves it!
My older cats also love playing with this game, nice and colourful and simple!
Would recommend getting a screen protector 😬

my cat loves it Sep 07, 2018 ★★★★ Leah😻🌸
my cat never usually plays with apps and games i’ve tried countless times to try to get her to play with one, but with this one she was staring at it for a good 10 minutes and tried to hit the mouse a few times!
No squeak Aug 19, 2018 ★★★ Seren-:)
The mice aren’t making any noise so my cat isn’t really interested. He’s a Bengal and loves the YouTube videos with squeaky mice but without the noise it doesn’t get his attention
Best for cats: Purrr fun Jun 14, 2018 ★★★★★ The Lady Devourah
My 1 year old Bengal loves this game more than others I’ve tried. She loves the random types, realistic movements and squeaky noises (or maybe that’s just me) — they even look like (the mice) are breathing! LOL Endless fun! Best cat toy in the App Store. Well worth it!
This is really good May 14, 2018 ★★★★★ Luv_your_lip_gloss

My cat has now stolen my iPad May 13, 2018 ★★★★★ Foxyroadie
I was a bit unconvinced when I first got this but straight away - and still, even after a month - my cat loves this game. He sits and watches it for ages. Highly recommended, though not if you’re not keen on giving your own iPad to your cat..!
AMAZING Mar 25, 2018 ★★★★★ Amazing style
I got this for my grandmas cat and it’s so funny to watch her try catch the mouse putting her paw on the screen she even look behind the iPad 😂😂
