Pounce: A Game for All Cats

About this app

Pounce is a chase game built around your cat's real hunting instinct. The prey doesn't just wander — it reacts. Swat near it and it panics and sprints away. Miss, and a paw print ripples where your cat touched. Catch it, and it bursts with sound, color, and a satisfying pop. 14 KINDS OF PREY Fly, mouse, fish, bird, lizard, snake, butterfly, bee, beetle, spider, firefly, crab, laser dot, and spinning top — each with its own movement style, sound, and world. A mouse bolts then freezes. A lizard darts for the edge and vanishes. A firefly glows on and off in the dark. Turn on Surprise mode and the prey changes on its own, so the hunt never gets predictable. SET UP IN SECONDS Big, clearly labelled controls designed so anyone can set the game up for their cat — including the grandparents. Pick the prey, choose one of seven backgrounds, set the speed to Slow, Medium or Fast, and decide whether one, two or three creatures are on screen at once. BUILT FOR HOW CATS SEE Prey is drawn in the blues and yellow-greens cats track best, on deep low-glare backgrounds. Extra-bright mode puts high-contrast prey on pure black — older cats and cats with weaker vision often follow it far better. IT HIDES, AND IT FLEES Prey slips off the edge of the screen and peeks back somewhere else, creating the pause that makes a cat commit to the stalk. Get close and it bolts. Your cat learns that near isn't the same as caught. THE SCOREBOARD Pounce keeps count of every catch and works out which prey your cat prefers. Yes, they have a favourite. CAT-PROOF SETTINGS The menu needs a deliberate long press, so a paw on the screen can't wander into the settings mid-game. NO ADS. EVER. No banners, no interstitials, no tracking, no accounts.
