Cat TV
Cat TV for cats to watch
Videos for cats are great until an ad pops up, or your cat paws the screen and nothing happens. Cat TV turns our animated scenes into television for your cat: birds at the feeder, fish in a pond, mice and bugs that keep moving and react to every tap. No ads, ever.
- Free to try
- No ads
- Cat-proof lock
Cat vision, simulated: cats see blues and yellows, reds and greens fade to dull yellow-grey, and fine detail blurs. That is why our prey is bright, clean-edged and moves like prey.
Channels
Every game can run as Cat TV. With All Games, the Surprise Mix changes channel every 90 seconds.
-
Mouse Hunt
Mice peek out of their holes, scurry across the floor and squeak. Your cat hunts them down.
-
Fish Pond
Bright fish glide through a pond, hide under lily pads and splash when caught.
-
Bird Feeder
Colourful birds fly in, land on branches, hop and peck in the grass, chirp, and flutter away from paws.
-
Bug Catcher
Buzzing flies zip and land, beetles crawl and freeze. Perfect for paw taps.
-
Laser Dot
The classic red dot, but this one can be caught, so the hunt always ends in a win.
-
Feather Wand
A feather on a string swoops, drags and flicks away, like a wand toy that never gets tired.
-
Surprise Mix
Switches between mice, fish, birds, bugs, the feather and the dot so your cat stays curious.
Why cats prefer it to cat videos
- It reacts. On a touch screen, birds flutter off, fish dart away and mice run for their holes when your cat pounces. A video can't do that.
- No ads, no autoplay surprises. Nothing loud or unexpected interrupts.
- Made for cat eyes. Bright yellow, white and blue prey on calm backgrounds: the colours cats see best.
- Cat-proof. Paws can't close it, scroll away or open something else.
How to set up Cat TV
- Press Start Cat TV, or pick a channel above. Cat TV mode is switched on for you.
- Prop the tablet up at your cat's eye level, or lay it flat on the floor so they can paw at it. Turn the brightness up.
- Sound is optional: birdsong, bubbles and squeaks help some cats notice the screen.
- Want it on the big TV? Mirror or cast your phone or tablet to the TV. Your cat watches; the touch-screen fun stays on the tablet.
Questions from cat owners
Is Cat TV free?
Every channel is free to try: 3 free 3-minute sessions on your first day, then 1 a day. Buy a game (or All Games) to leave Cat TV running as long as you like.
How is this different from YouTube videos for cats?
It is not a recording: the animals move live, react when your cat touches the screen, and there are no ads.
Can I leave it running while I am out?
For short stretches, yes, with a timer. Cats are best watched by a human while they play with screens, and real play with toys is still important.
Is it safe for my cat to play on a tablet?
Yes, with a little care: see Healthy screen play below. Keep sessions to 5–15 minutes, use a screen protector if your cat has sharp claws, lay the tablet flat so it cannot fall, and finish with a real toy your cat can bite, or a treat. Every session ends with a catch, so your cat stops satisfied rather than frustrated.
How long can my cat play for free?
Free sessions last 3 minutes: plenty of time for a cat to watch, creep closer and pounce. Many cats watch for 20 seconds or more before their first pounce, which is why we don't do 30-second rounds. You get 3 free sessions on your first day and 1 a day after that.
Could my cat buy something by accident?
No. There is nothing to buy inside a game and no buttons on the play screen, only a lock that a person opens by holding the corner and tapping 1-2-3. Buying happens on a separate page, with Google sign-in and a Stripe payment page.
Can my cat accidentally close the game?
Inside the game, touches only move the prey: the page cannot scroll, zoom, open menus or follow links. To leave, a human holds the lock in the corner and taps 1, 2, 3. For complete protection, also turn on Guided Access on an iPad (Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access) or App pinning on Android (Settings → Security → App pinning); those block the home button and swipes too.
Why does the game end with a catch?
Chasing something that can never be caught frustrates cats. Before the timer runs out the prey slows down, so your cat always gets the final catch.
My cat ignores the screen. What can I try?
Lay the tablet flat on the floor at your cat's level, turn the brightness up, try the sound on, and try a different game: some cats love mice, others only care about fish or the laser dot. Many cats need a few sessions to get the idea. Tapping the prey yourself first can help.
Are there ads?
No, never. Cats don't buy things, so ads only interrupt the hunt, and a stray paw can tap one. No ads also means nothing unsuitable pops up when children play along.
Do I have to collect coins or unlock levels?
No. Cats hunt; they don't grind for points. There are no coins, levels or experience points: every game is open to try from the start, and buying it simply removes the time limit.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser on any tablet, phone or computer. You can add it to your home screen for a full-screen app that also works offline.
Is it free?
You can try every game for free: 3 free 3-minute sessions on your first day, then 1 free session a day. If your cat loves a game, buy it once to play it any time, for as long as you like, with every timer and setting: one game €2.99, any three €5.99, or all games €9.99. No subscription.
How do I buy, and will it work on my other devices?
Sign in with Google when you buy. Your games are tied to that account, so sign in on any tablet, phone or computer and they are unlocked there too. You can see everything you own under "My games".
I bought one game and now want them all. Do I pay twice?
No. Everything you have already paid counts towards All Games, so upgrading only costs the difference.
