Ready. Set. Slap.
CatSlaps turns your phone or tablet into an interactive game for your cat. Mouser scurries around the screen while your cat chases, taps and pounces — and you can capture the action with your device's camera.
🐭 Getting Started
- Open CatSlaps.
- Allow camera access when prompted. CatSlaps uses the camera for its photo feature.
- Start Mouser. The mouse will begin moving around the play area.
- Place your device somewhere stable where your cat can comfortably see and reach the screen.
- Let your cat chase, tap and pounce on Mouser.
📸 Taking Photos
While Mouser is running, tap the screen to capture a photo of your cat during play.
CatSlaps does not automatically save every photo to your photo library. You decide which pictures you want to keep or share.
📤 Saving & Sharing
After capturing a photo, use the available controls to save or share the image when you choose.
Your device may ask for permission before CatSlaps can save an image to your photo library.
🐾 Tips for Better Play
- Place your phone or tablet on a stable, flat surface.
- Give your cat a moment to notice Mouser before moving the device.
- Indoor or moderately dim lighting can make the screen easier for your cat to notice.
- Every cat is different. Some attack immediately; others prefer to study their prey first.
- A screen protector is a good idea for enthusiastic players with sharp claws.
⚠️ Play Safely
Use CatSlaps with your pet under normal supervision. Place the device where it cannot easily fall, and stop play if your cat becomes overly excited or aggressive toward the device.
