A calm, friendly game for little ones
No timers, no scary bits, no way to lose. Catchmemeow was made for pre-readers and the grown-ups playing alongside them. Every round shows a fresh crowd of cheerful cats and dogs in silly hats, and your only job is to find the special one shown on the poster. Tap them and they do a happy little wiggle. That’s it — that’s the game, and it’s wonderfully soothing.
👀 Gentle & un-losable
Find the special critter at your own pace. Stuck? A friendly hint points the way. Nothing chases you and the timer never runs out.
🗺️ 25 themed worlds
Hunt on the Beach, the Moon, in Egypt, Japan, Paris, Texas and more — each with its own music, scenery and surprises.
🏆 Hundreds of treasures
Famous hidden critters and oddball objects are tucked into every scene, plus collect-a-set quests with cuddly rewards.
📱 Plays anywhere
Works right in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer — nothing to install. Big tap targets for little fingers.
How to play, in three steps
- Look at the poster. The top corner shows the special kitty (or doggo) you’re hunting — for example, “the orange cat wearing the wizard hat.”
- Drag to look around, pinch to zoom. The world is bigger than your screen. Slide it around to scan the crowd and peek behind the scenery.
- Tap the one that matches. Found it! They’ll wiggle with joy and you’re onto a brand-new scene. Tapped the wrong one? No problem — you’ll just meet a new silly friend.
New: free printable coloring pages 🖍️
Because every critter in Catchmemeow is drawn by code, the game can draw its own coloring book — astronaut cats, pirate cats, cowboy dogs and more, in crisp black-and-white line art you won’t find anywhere else. Print them for a rainy afternoon or a classroom table.

Made with love — for cats, dogs & the families who love them
Catchmemeow started as a homemade gift and grew into a little love letter to shelter animals. Every cat and dog in the game is drawn by hand, and the game gently points families toward real ways to adopt, foster and care for pets. If it nudges even one family toward giving a real animal a home, it’s done its job.
