One cat. One board. One rule: don't let it reach the edge.
Cage The Cat is a logic puzzle played on a 9x9 hexagonal board. Tap any open dot to block it. The cat takes one step — and it is genuinely searching, not guessing, so every wasted tap hands it a route you will have to close later. Trap it on all sides and you win.
Each round starts with a handful of blocks already scattered on the board, and the game quietly tunes itself to you: cage the cat twice in a row and it removes a block to squeeze you harder; let it escape and it hands two blocks back. Nobody gets stuck on a wall of losses, and nobody coasts either.
Your steps and time are tracked every round — the real challenge is not winning, it is winning in fewer taps than last time.
Portrait, one-hand play, no timer pressure, works offline. Clean shapes, readable board, instant restart. Simple to learn in one round, hard to master in a hundred. Can you cage the cat?
Tap the dots to wall in a cat that always runs for the shortest way out.
