Whisker Arcade

8 games. One very happy cat.

An arcade built for cats. You pick a game, set the phone or tablet on the floor, and let your cat hunt. Every game is a full-screen chase with nothing a paw can accidentally tap, and only a human gesture can leave it.

Download on the App Store iPhone iPad iOS 17+

Made for paws

Cats do not read menus, so the games have none. No buttons, no chrome, no ads. Just prey on a screen, waiting to be pounced on.

Leaving a game takes a 3-finger triple-tap, a gesture paws cannot make. Your cat cannot quit mid-hunt or wander into settings, and iOS edge swipes are held back while a game is on screen.

The arcade

A featured pick rotates daily, so the arcade nudges you toward variety.

Prey that plays fair

Real laser pointers never let the cat win. Here, every chase can end in a real catch, and catches are paced so your cat wins often enough to stay interested.

Difficulty adapts too. Prey slows down for beginners and gets craftier as your cat learns its moves.

Matched to your cat's mood

Every game carries an energy tag. Chill games drift and ripple for lazy afternoons; wild ones dart and dodge when the zoomies hit; mixed sits in between.

Sessions also wind down gently instead of stopping cold, the same way real play ends, so your cat is left satisfied rather than wired.

How it works

🐾

Set it down and go

Pick a game, place the device on the floor, and step back. Everything from there is your cat's job.

🎯

Real catches

Prey flees like prey, but it can be caught. Wins are paced so the hunt stays rewarding instead of frustrating.

📈

Adapts to your cat

The game watches how your cat hunts and tunes the prey to match, from gentle for kittens to crafty for seasoned hunters.

🌙

Gentle wind-down

Toward the end of a session the prey slows and the pace eases off, so play ends calmly instead of being cut off mid-pounce.

🔒

Human-only exit

A 3-finger triple-tap is the only way out of a game. Every touch is treated as a paw, so palms and pounces never trigger anything by accident.

🏆

For the humans

Track play streaks and weekly stats, and unlock little rewards as your cat racks up catches.

Screen-friendly

Modern glass stands up to soft paws fine. If your cat is an enthusiastic scratcher, a screen protector adds peace of mind.

The poster wall

A night-sky poster reading Catch the glow, eight tiny hunts for the midnight zoomies: a cat silhouette watching fireflies drift under a full moon.
A deep teal poster reading Every tap makes ripples, Koi Pond, the chill-out classic: ripple rings forming a paw print while two koi swim past.
A cream poster reading No strings attached, all the chase, none of the tangles: a ball of yarn unwinding into a heart beside a dozing cat.
A soft lavender poster reading The good kind of tired, play hard, nap harder: an orange cat curled up asleep under drifting Zs.
