Five Cat Games in One App
Every game is built for feline vision: high-contrast targets, pet-safe colors, and realistic prey movement that triggers your cat's natural hunting instincts.
From Download to Pouncing in Under a Minute
No setup, no sign-up. FunCat is designed so the only learning curve belongs to the mouse on the screen.
Pick a game
Open FunCat and choose a theme — Laser Chase, Mouse Hunt, Fish Pond, Classic Ball, or the premium Beetle Smasher bug mode.
Put the screen on the floor
Lay your iPhone or iPad flat on a soft surface or the floor. Cats hunt looking down — that's why floor play beats holding the phone.
Let your cat hunt
Targets dart, scurry and swim with realistic prey movement. When your cat catches one, it pops and disappears — instant, satisfying feedback. Adjust speed and the number of targets anytime.

Read the guide →Games for Cats — Frequently Asked Questions
Are screen games good for cats?
Yes — in short, supervised sessions. Screen games trigger natural stalk-and-pounce instincts and give indoor cats real mental stimulation. Keep sessions short and finish with a physical toy or treat so your cat gets a real "catch." Learn more →
Will my cat scratch or damage my phone screen?
Modern glass easily handles soft paw taps, and trimmed claws rarely leave marks. A cheap screen protector removes all worry — tablets with tempered glass are the most carefree setup. Learn more →
What games do cats like to play on a phone?
Cats respond to prey-like movement: a darting laser dot, a scurrying mouse, swimming fish, or crawling bugs. FunCat includes all of them, with adjustable speed for every cat. Learn more →
Do games for cats work on iPad?
Yes — iPad is the best way to play. FunCat is designed for iPad (iPadOS 18.1+), and the larger screen gives cats a bigger hunting ground. Learn more →
Is FunCat free?
Yes. The download is free and includes four full games: Laser Chase, Mouse Hunt, Fish Pond and Classic Ball. The Beetle Smasher bug mode is an optional Premium upgrade ($3.99/week or $14.99/year). Learn more →
Are laser games bad for cats?
On-screen laser games avoid the two classic concerns: no beam can hit your cat's eyes, and the dot pops when caught — so the hunt actually ends in a win. Learn more →
What is the best game for kittens?
Kittens do best with slower, larger, high-contrast targets. Start with Mouse Hunt or Classic Ball on slow speed with a single target, then level up as coordination develops. Learn more →
My cat ignores the screen — how do I get them to play?
Lay the device flat on the floor, pick a high-contrast game like Laser Chase, slow it down, and let your cat discover the movement. Play at dawn or dusk when cats are naturally alert. Learn more →
How long should my cat play screen games?
Around 5–10 minutes, once or twice a day. Short, frequent hunts mirror natural feline behavior and prevent overstimulation. Always end with a real-world reward. Learn more →
