Cat Games — Free Online Cat Simulators, Kitten Care & Feline Adventures

Cat games split almost perfectly in half, and the two halves want opposite things from you. In one, you look after a cat: wash it, feed it, heal it, make it comfortable. In the other, you are the cat, and the entire point is knocking things off shelves while somebody shouts. Search results mix the two freely because both are filed under the same word, so people routinely open a chaos simulator expecting a kitten to nurse, or the reverse. Every cat game on JoyForGame is listed below with a tag saying which it is. Beyond those two halves there is a third group that uses a cat purely as a mascot on a platformer, a clicker or a puzzle — those are tagged too, because a cat on the thumbnail tells you nothing about the game behind it.

Cat simulators — the ones where you are the cat

Four games here hand you the cat. Bad Cat Simulator Pet Game and Cat From Hell are the closest to each other: a cosy house, unsuspecting humans, and a list of things you can knock over, scratch or sneak past, with abilities unlocking as you level up. Cat Chaos Simulator is the largest of them, moving out of the house into 3D parks and cityscapes with other animals to interact with and accessories to earn, and it is the one to pick if the sandbox matters more than the pranks. Cougar Simulator - Big Cats is a different animal entirely in both senses: you play a wild cougar across open landscapes, completing quests, raising cubs and building a family, which makes it a survival game rather than a mischief one. None of these four involves caring for a cat, and all four are the games people land on by accident when they wanted Funny Kitty Care.

Kitten care and styling

Three of the eighteen are on the other side of the split. Funny Kitty Care is the straightforward one: a stray kitten that needs grooming, healing and finally dressing, with a clear beginning and end. Kitty Take Care New Born Baby is gentler still and is the one to hand a small child — click-based controls, visible reactions, nothing that can be failed, and a portrait layout that suits a phone. Superstar Kitty Fashion Award is styling rather than care, a makeover game in which cat clients arrive and you work through treatments and tools in a series of minigames to send them out transformed. All three appear on our pet care games hub as well, which is where to go if the caring side is what you came for rather than the cat specifically.

The cat is just the mascot

Eleven games here use a cat as decoration on something else, and knowing that in advance saves a click. Super Cute Cat is a pixel-art platformer with mutated cats as enemies and candies as power-ups. Ninja Hero Cats is a squad action game against demons. Red and Blue Cat is a two-character co-op puzzle platformer set on a spaceship, playable solo or with someone else. Miner Cat is a block-mining game with pickaxe and backpack upgrades. Cat Evolution is an arcade runner where eating meat evolves you and vegetables set you back. Save Kitten is a trampoline catching game against the clock. Duet Cats Halloween is a rhythm game. Idle Cat Town Clicker and Spinning Cat Clicker are idle and clicker games respectively. Spinning Oia Oia Cat Flap Up is a vertical arcade climber, and Plinko Cat is a pegboard drop game with multipliers. Good games — none of them about cats in any meaningful way.

Cat Games — Free Online Cat Simulators, Kitten Care & Feline Adventures — FAQ

Are there cat games where you play as the cat?

Four: Cat Chaos Simulator, Bad Cat Simulator Pet Game, Cat From Hell Cat Simulator and Cougar Simulator - Big Cats. The first three are house-cat mischief sandboxes; Cougar Simulator puts you in the wild with quests and cubs instead.

Which cat game lets me look after a kitten?

Funny Kitty Care and Kitty Take Care New Born Baby. Both are caring games with grooming, feeding and healing. Superstar Kitty Fashion Award is styling rather than care. Everything else on this page uses the cat as a character or a mascot.

What is the best cat game for a child?

Kitty Take Care New Born Baby — click-only controls, a kitten that reacts visibly, nothing that can be failed, and a portrait layout for a phone. Funny Kitty Care is the next step up. The mischief simulators are harmless but involve a lot of breaking things.

Why are there so many cat games that are not about cats?

A cat is a cheap, universally appealing thumbnail. Eleven of the eighteen games here are platformers, clickers, puzzles, rhythm or arcade games that simply put a cat on the front, which is why we tag each entry with what the game actually is.

Are these cat games free?

Yes, all eighteen. They are HTML5 games that run in a browser tab with no download, no account and no app store.

Which ones work on a phone?

Kitty Take Care New Born Baby, Idle Cat Town Clicker and Spinning Oia Oia Cat Flap Up are portrait, so they play one-handed. Cat Chaos Simulator, Cat Evolution, Cat From Hell and Spinning Cat Clicker adapt to any screen. The rest are landscape and want a phone turned sideways.
