Simple rules
Pick a card and try to get your cat to do the action.
If they do it, you score.
If they don’t… well, they’re a cat.
Silly moments
Every round brings tiny wins, dramatic flops, and unexpected giggles.
Cats make the funniest teammates.
Cat-led chaos
Your cat decides the pace and direction of the game.
You just adapt to whatever they do next.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
63 illustrated cards including:
-
Action cards — Take a Solo turn, challenge an opponent Head-to-Head, or have Everyone Act at once
-
See It, Score It cards — Keep these aside; if your cat naturally does the action at any point, call it out and score
-
Chaos Cards — Steal cards, ditch tricky ones, and shake things up
HOW TO PLAY
Cats Don’t Fetch is simple, silly, and wonderfully unpredictable.
Your cat thinks it’s all about them.
You think it’s all about winning.
You’re both right.
1. Draw 3 cards
Each player starts with three challenges.
2. Pick a card to play
On your turn, choose a Solo, Head-to-Head, Everyone Act, or a Chaos card.
Keep an eye on your See It, Score It cards — they can trigger at any time.
3. Tempt your cat
You have up to 30 seconds to persuade your cat to do the action (or simply hope they do it naturally).
4. Score if they do it
Success = keep the card and score its points.
No luck? Discard it. Then draw back to 3 cards.
5. First to 20 points wins
If your cat wanders off, the game ends. Add up your scores to decide the winner. Your cat does not care who that is.

DESIGNED AND TESTED BY REAL CATS
Chibi, Nemu, Jimmy, and May supervised development — usually by sitting on the cards, hiding behind the sofa, or asking for treats instead of following the rules.
Cats Don’t Fetch is built on real feline chaos.
Our cats helped us figure out:
-
which actions cats reliably do
-
which actions they never do
-
when to tempt them
-
when to simply watch and hope
That’s why the game mixes tempting challenges, unpredictable reactions, and observation-based cards — all tested, refined, and occasionally destroyed by our four in-house experts.
HOW IT STARTED
We’re a mum-and-daughter indie studio whose cats kept interrupting family game night.
So we made a game that includes them — and they’ve been running the show ever since.
Cats Don’t Fetch is our first release, and we’re already working on more pet-powered games for our furry teammates.
