Whether you’re looking for help with training or to entertain your feline friend, cat apps are the perfect solution for this. But it can be hard to know which cat apps are suited for your dear feline, which is why we have a list for you. Check it out below!
Cat apps for fun interactive games
It can be challenging at times to keep your cat happy indoors, especially as cats love to pounce and play. If you’re a little busy but your feline friend is meowing at you to be played with, handing them a touch-screen device with a fun and interactive game will keep them busy for a little bit! We recommend a tablet device for optimal fun.
Our handy guide on the best videos for cats will ensure your cat will be entertained for hours!
Check out our list of cat apps for games below:
Cat Fishing 2
What it does: Catch and release sea creatures at playtime! Cat Fishing 2 is the perfect mental stimulation for your pet which nurtures the cat’s hunting instincts. The sounds in the game are also great to keep your furry friend’s interest for longer.
Price: Free to download

Game for Cats
What it does: Choose from butterflies, lasers and mice! These interactive components run and glide across the screen and wait for your cat to ‘catch’, which they do by tapping the screen. Once they do, the component disappears and your cat will get points (of course, they can’t see this but at least we can be proud!)

Pocket Pond 2
What it does: It’s time to catch some more fish! We don’t want our feline friends sticking their paws into a real-life pond, so this is the next best thing. With Pocket Pond 2, you can raise, feed, breed, and trade fish in your own virtual koi pond, where the fish interact to your and your cat’s touch. Your cat will love seeing them swim around on the screen!

Best training apps for cats
Cats, like any pet, need to learn how to behave in their new homes. It can be quite daunting but cat apps for training are here to help! Read on for more.
Cat Training Clicker
What it does: We’d rather our cats would have a perfect scratching post to dedicate their natural habits than scratch our furniture or scale our curtains, so a clicker is great consistent sound for training. This clicker app comes with four different sounds, so your cat can associate that sound with negative or positive behaviour. It’s easier than getting yourself four different clickers! Simply wait for your cat to make right moves, click the clicker and reward your cat with a treat.
Price: £0.89

App for lost pets
Cats going missing (and any other pet) is one of our biggest concerns as a pet owner. Luckily, in this modern age, we have apps to help us track our pets if they do run off unexpectedly. Read on for more.
Find my VIP
What it does: This app from Pets at Home is designed to try and help you find your missing furry friend. If you’ve noticed that your cat has gone missing, simply report them as lost on the app and a Lost Pet Alert will be sent to every app user within five miles who have their notifications switched on. The alert will include their picture, name and last known location.
Remember to have your notifications switched on to help any other pet owners!
