How to play the cat puzzle
Help the orange cat reach the fish. In Cozy Cat Puzzle, every swipe sends a cat sliding until something stops it. The challenge is choosing the right stopping points within the move limit.

1. Swipe to slide
Swipe on a phone, or click and drag on desktop. A cat slides in a straight line until it reaches a wall, the board edge, or another piece. You cannot stop it halfway through a slide.
2. Make a stopping point
Move helper cats into useful positions. A helper can stop the orange cat where it needs to turn, making a route that was not possible before.
3. Reach the fish
Bring the orange cat to the fish within the move limit. Once you solve a puzzle, find the Shortest Path in the fewest moves without hints to earn a gold stamp.
Three tips for your first puzzles
- Start at the fish and look backward. Which row or column must the orange cat enter? Look for the stopping point that lines up that final slide.
- Give each helper a job. Before moving a helper cat, decide where you want it to stop the orange cat. Moving a piece just because it can move may use up your allowance.
- Change one move at a time. Use Undo to explore another direction. Restart when you want to try a fresh route from the beginning.
