Meow Meow Match: Merge Cats

Every swipe brings two cats together. Two of the same become one rarer cat, and your album gets a step closer to full.

MeowMeowMatch is a merge puzzle for people who like their games unhurried. No lives to wait for, no countdown in the corner, no energy bar deciding when you are allowed to play. The board is always there, and so are your cats.

HOW TO PLAY
• Swipe in any direction and every cat on the board slides at once
• Two identical cats merge into the next cat up the chain
• A new cat appears after each move, so think about where it will land
• Line up several merges in a single swipe to build a combo

COLLECT ALL 36 CATS
Twelve hand-drawn cats, each waiting further up the chain in a silver and a gold rank. The first few show up in your opening minutes. The last ones take real planning, a clean board and a little patience. Every cat you merge for the first time is added to your album for good, with its own name and description, and nothing can take it back out.

BUILD A ROOM THEY ACTUALLY LIVE IN
The coins you pick up on the board go into a home of your own:
• Place furniture wherever you like and rotate it until it fits
• Swap the entire room for a different style
• Buy extra floor space when things start feeling cramped
• Watch the cats you have unlocked settle in — they nap on the bed, sit beside the scratching post and move around whatever you put in their way

The room is not a menu you glance at once. It fills up as your album does, and it is the reason to merge cats long after your first good score.

BOOSTERS FOR TIGHT SPOTS
• Undo — take back the move you regret, before it costs you the run
• Shuffle — rearrange the board and find an opening you could not see
• Hint — merge two matching cats anywhere, even across the board

Boosters arrive through daily rewards and challenges, so a tight spot is a puzzle rather than a paywall.

TIPS FOR A LONGER RUN
• Park your biggest cat in a corner and build the chain toward it
• Swipe in three directions rather than four — the fourth pulls that corner apart
• Merge the small cats early, while there is still room to do it comfortably
• Keep Shuffle for a board that is genuinely stuck, not one that is merely awkward
• Watch where the new cat lands after each move, not just where the merge happened

WHO IT IS FOR
If you like merge puzzles, 2048-style number games, or you simply want somewhere quiet to put your hands for ten minutes, this was built for that. There is no wrong pace to play it at, and nothing expires while you are away.

REASONS TO COME BACK
• 17 challenges that pay out coins and boosters
• A seven-day streak with a reward every day
• A global leaderboard, if you want to know where your best run stands

YOUR PROGRESS FOLLOWS YOU
Choose a nickname and an avatar, and your cats, coins and best score are kept in the cloud. Change phones and pick up on the same board you left.

PLAYS IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, Russian, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and Chinese.

WHAT IT COSTS
Nothing. MeowMeowMatch is free, supported by ads between rounds and optional rewarded videos you can watch for extra boosters. If you would rather not see them, a single purchase removes them for good.

Merge cats, fill the album, and give them somewhere soft to sleep.
