Trap The Cat

Trap The Cat is a fast, simple puzzle you can play in a short break. Your goal is to stop a smart cat from running off the board by closing the tiles around it.

Who Is This Game For

Great for anyone who likes light logic games and short rounds. One session takes 1–3 minutes, so it fits a coffee break. Works on PC and phone, in a browser, no download.

How to Play

• Press Play to start a new board with a cat in the middle.
• Click (PC) or tap (phone) on tiles to turn them into blocks. That tile becomes a wall.
• The cat moves one step after each block you place.
• Keep placing blocks to cut off all paths to the edge.
• You win when the cat has no open tile to escape. If it reaches the edge, you lose and can restart.

 

Features

• Quick rounds, easy to learn.
• Simple mouse/touch controls.
• New board each time for replay value.
• No sign-up, no download, plays offline in most browsers once loaded.

 

• Tips for Beginners
• Start by closing paths near the edges; that’s where the cat tries to escape.
• Don’t place blocks at random. Think two moves ahead and build a ring that slowly tightens.
• Common mistake: leaving a single open “tunnel.” Place a block there first.

 

Mini-FAQ
