Your cats. Your home. Your little happy place.

There is no one way to play

Your cats.
Your kind of game.

For younger cat lovers, lifelong collectors and everyone in between. Choose the part of Cats GO that makes you happy.

Collect. Discover. Compete.

Build an impressive collection of real cats and climb the worldwide collector rankings. If collecting is your thing, that can be your whole game.

Care. Play. Become friends.

Spend time with your companions, look after them, decorate their home and grow your friendship. Enjoy a quieter adventure, at your own pace.

Do one, do both, change your mind. Care and mini-games are optional. They earn activity XP for a separate ranking and are never required to improve your collected-cat ranking.

01 / A real-world beginning

See a cat.
Say hello.

That friendly face on your walk can become the start of something lovely. Cats GO turns real encounters into a collection you can come back to.

  1. 01

    Capture the moment

    Take a new photo or add a cat directly from your photo gallery using a picture you have permission to use. Cats GO automatically looks for a cat in the image. Give real cats plenty of space.

  2. 02

    Add a new little friend

    Select the detected cat and add it to your collection. Its photo becomes part of the story, and its cut-out becomes your first avatar.

  3. 03

    Choose your own adventure

    Keep collecting and compete worldwide, or spend time caring, playing and walking with your companions. The choice is yours.

Already have a favourite cat photo? Add it straight from your gallery. Your cat can earn experience (XP) normally through care and play, but does not count as a newly collected cat or increase your total in the Collectors ranking.

A clear photo makes all the difference. Very dark, blurry or low-quality images may stop the game from detecting your cat. Try better light, hold your camera steady and keep the cat clearly in view.

02 / Familiar faces. New personalities.

Your real cat.
A whole new world.

Your cat’s first avatar comes straight from your original photo. Cats GO removes the background and brings the cut-out cat into your game world, keeping its real appearance. You can also choose an illustrated character from the library, or create an optional personal AI portrait.

  • Start with your real cat, automatically cut out from its photo.
  • Choose from the game’s character library.
  • Explore optional personal AI portraits when the service is available.

Personal AI portraits are optional. Paid Premium includes one per account; additional portraits use purchased Paws. See how it works.

03 / Make yourself at home

A cozy corner.
Entirely yours.

From a quiet cabin to a sunlit room, create a place where your little companions belong. A soft bed here. A plant there. A favorite cat in every corner.

Choose from free and Premium room styles, and find your favorite place to unwind.

04 / Just one more game

A little play.
A closer bond.

Curious?

Here are a few things to know before your first adventure.

Visit the support centre
Where can I get Cats GO?

Get Cats GO for iPhone and iPad through the App Store, or for Android through Google Play. Choose your store using the buttons on this page.

What can I do in Cats GO?

Photograph real cats, grow a collection and compete in worldwide rankings. You can also care, play, decorate and build friendships with your companions. All these activities are optional: choose your own way to play.

Do I have to feed and care for every cat?

No. You can focus entirely on collecting and worldwide collector rankings. Care, play and friendship are optional activities with their own XP rewards. Gallery cats can earn activity XP, but the collector ranking counts only reviewed, listed cats photographed with the in-game camera. Read the ranking rules.

Do I need a cat of my own?

No. Your collection can begin with cats you meet or cat photos you have permission to use. Always respect the cat, its owner and private property.

Can I play without an online account?

Yes. The private album keeps photos and progress on your device. An online account is needed for online sharing and community features. Export your local album before clearing app data or uninstalling.

Is Cats GO free to play?

You can play for free with up to 10 cats. Premium unlocks the full game with a single purchase — no monthly or yearly subscription. An optional seven-day trial does not charge automatically. Extra AI portraits are separate and optional. The store shows the price before you buy. Read the purchase terms.

Who can see my photos and locations?

New online profiles and reviewed cats are public by default, and original-photo sharing starts enabled. You can change this in Privacy and each cat’s settings. Location access and publishing choices are separate. A saved cat encounter can include exact coordinates, so never share a home or a child’s location. Read the full privacy notice.

Your next little adventure

The world has cats.
Go say hello.

Start your collection with up to 10 cats for free. Meet a few new faces, or make room for a whole world of companions.
