There are plenty of games about catching imaginary creatures. Catch Cat — Catemon is about something better: the real cats already living all around you. People sometimes call it “Pokémon Go, but for cats,” and that captures the idea — but Catemon is its own thing, a real-world cat game made for cat lovers. Here is the thinking behind the app.
The everyday, made collectible
We wanted to take one of life’s small, reliable joys — spotting a cat — and turn it into something you can keep. Every catch in Catemon is a real cat you actually met, in a real place you actually walked. That connection to real life is what makes the collection feel meaningful in a way a virtual pet never quite does.
A cat game that gets you outside
Catemon nudges you to walk a little further and look a little closer. Your neighbourhood is full of cats you have never noticed, and every one of them is a catch waiting to happen. It is a game that quietly gets you outside, moving, and paying attention to the world around you — the opposite of a game that keeps you glued to the couch.
Simple by design
We deliberately kept Catemon simple. There are no complicated menus, no daily quests demanding your time, and no pressure. Open the app, catch a cat, and get on with your day. That calm, low-key design is a big part of why it fits so naturally into real life.
Private, and truly yours
Your album is your own personal record of the cats you have met. We respect your privacy and keep things straightforward — you can read exactly what is and is not collected in our Catemon privacy policy.
Made for people who love cats
If you photograph cats you will never meet again, cross the street to say hello to a stray, or smile at every cat in a shop window, Catemon was made for you. It gives all those small, everyday cat moments a place to live.
