## Description

Game for Cats is an entertaining app that lets your cat chase a laser pointer and a playful mouse. It includes a new 2-player mode controlled from your iPhone and is promoted with press quotes and endorsements, including a nod to Animal Planet's Must Love Cats. It also offers a restore-purchase option so you won’t pay twice if you’ve already bought the game.

Key features include a free laser pointer, a mouse level available via in-app purchase, and simple pausing controls. For best play, disable multitasking gestures to prevent your cat from switching apps, and use the described shake-and-paw pause to stop the game. The game aims to entertain cats and their humans with fast, engaging action.

## Review summary

Overall, reviews show that while some cats enthusiastically respond to the laser pointer and the app can entertain kittens for hours, the experience is marred by a pay-to-play model and reliability issues. Many users report that most mice are locked behind purchases, with high or unexpected charges, and some instances of incorrect billing. Several reviews mention bugs or nonfunctional features, such as failed bot verification or an endlessly running game. A significant portion of cat owners also note that their cats show little interest beyond the laser, making the app a mixed value at best.

### Pros

- Cats show clear engagement with the laser pointer feature.
- Some cats and kittens will play for hours, providing lasting entertainment.
- Several users describe the app as a fun, entertaining toy for cats.
- Positive engagement where cats respond by watching, pawing, or playing with the laser.

### Cons

- Content is largely locked behind purchases; mice must be bought and are not free.
- Billing issues and unexpected charges (e.g., overcharges) are common.
- Reliability/bugs: bot-verification can fail, the game may not stop, and some features feel unstable.
- Limited universal appeal: many cats show little interest beyond the laser, reducing overall value.
