Why cats love Laser Dot
- The dot zips, freezes, jitters and slips off the edge of the screen, like a laser pointer in the right hands.
- Unlike a real laser, this dot can be caught, so your cat finishes with a win, not frustration.
- Runs silently, if you prefer a quiet game.
Best for cats who go wild for a laser pointer.

How it works
- Pick a game and a timer. 5–15 minutes is a good session for most cats.
- Lay the tablet flat on the floor. The screen locks itself, so paws only move the prey.
- Let your cat hunt. Near the end the prey slows down, so your cat gets the final catch.
Cat-proof lock
Cats tap, swipe, sit and roll on screens. While a game runs, every touch goes to the prey: no scrolling, zooming, menus, links or going back. To finish, hold the 🔒 in the corner for a few seconds, then tap 1, 2, 3. Easy for people, practically impossible for paws.
Made for cat eyes and ears
Cats see blue and yellow best, and red looks dull to them, so prey comes in bright yellows, whites and blues on calm, dark backgrounds. Prey moves the way real prey does: quick dashes, sudden freezes and hiding. Sounds are synthesized fresh every time, so a squeak never repeats exactly.
Questions from cat owners
Is a laser pointer game bad for cats?
A real laser can frustrate cats because they can never catch it. This dot can be caught, and every session ends with a catch, so your cat finishes satisfied.
Is it safe for my cat to play on a tablet?
Yes, with a little care. Keep sessions short (5–15 minutes), use a screen protector if your cat has sharp claws, and keep the tablet flat on the floor so it cannot fall. Screens are no substitute for real play, so finish with a toy your cat can actually bite, or a treat.
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.
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?
Every game is free to play in 3-minute sessions. Unlock one game (€2.99) or all games (€6.99) for longer sessions and every timer option. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
