About the game
It's six o'clock, dinner's on the stove, and the cats have other plans.
The cats run up a damage bill: knocking everything off every shelf, stealing snacks off the counter, shredding the sofa and sitting on the stove. Each has a perk (Mavis is hard to spot, Nigel's breakages make no sound, Priscilla can yowl the human into the next room) and a secret mission.
The humans try to get dinner cooked before the bill gets too big, defending the kitchen with a spray bottle and tools bought with stars from chores: a cat carrier, cucumbers, a laser pointer, sticky tape, treats.
Four places to ruin (a city apartment, a family home, an office and a back garden), round events like power cuts, a robot vacuum and the in-laws visiting, and twists that change the rules for a round. Daily and weekly challenges, streaks, leaderboards, and twelve cats and humans to unlock with a free account.
