Cat Lady: The Card Game is a card-drafting game where players compete to be the best cat lady. Pick cards in rows or columns to gather cute cats, delicious food, and fun toys. Be careful—you must have enough food for all your feline friends, or you'll lose points! With various goals and unique 'Stray Cat' abilities, every game offers a new strategy. Play solo against AI or with friends in local pass-and-play or online multiplayer.

Our Expert Score

86/100

Cat Lady: The Card Game is a purr-fectly delightful digital adaptation of the popular AEG tabletop game. It’s a 'drafting' game where you collect cats, food, and toys to be the ultimate cat lady. The digital version is snappy, and the art style is just as charming as the physical cards.

What makes this game great is the strategic depth hidden behind the cute exterior. You have to balance feeding your cats with collecting sets of toys and costumes. If you can't feed a cat by the end of the game, it costs you points! The AI provides a decent challenge, but playing with friends is where the real fun is. It's a quick, light, and engaging game for any cat lover.

Tips & Walkthrough

Drafting Strategy

On your turn, pick a row or column of three cards. The 'Cat Tracker' prevents the next player from picking the same row. Use this tactically to block your opponents from getting the specific food or cat they need.

Gameplays

Feeding Your Cats

Each cat requires specific types of food (Chicken, Tuna, or Milk). Check the icons on the cat cards. If a cat isn't fully fed by the end of the game, they won't score points and will actually penalize you. Prioritize getting a balance of cats and food cards.

Love it!!

Fri Nov 30 2018 Disappointed by update

Bought the physical game a while ago, but haven't found the time to play. But I bought this as soon as I heard it was digital! Easy to learn, quick play rounds, and fun cat animations! I love the cats names (use to have a cat named Pumpkin!). And getting to choose the difficulty of your opponent is a good challenge! The game is playable without internet and has no constant pestering to connect to social media! I play while waiting, or better yet, on my 5 hour plane flight across country! Feeding the happy cats makes me smile and keeps me coming back to get more cats!

Own the physical, prefer the digital!

My partner and I own the physical version of this game, but this digital version is such a perfect adaptation (and better in ease of play ways), that we haven’t really opened back up the physical since getting this over a year ago! One complaint: why restrict the seasonal theme? For those that don’t know, it’s a Christmas theme which changes nothing about the game but just dresses it up with a lovely holiday aesthetic. We love the theme so much that it literally stops me from updating the app when I know the update is gonna remove it. Devs, please stop this nonsense and just make the theme either an IAP for permanent use or better yet just a free option for players to turn on or off at any time.

Incredible Game!

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this game! This is one of the best designed games I’ve ever come across. The tutorial is perhaps the best I’ve seen in any game I’ve played, very well done. The art design is awesome, and the gameplay is perfectly balanced. I have a busy schedule, so being able to play a solo game against AI in just five minutes is just the thing I’ve been looking for. And, cute cats! Also the price is so fair. No IAPs, no stupid subscriptions. I applaud this developer. This is how games should be made!

Cant play online with others

My family loves this game and to find the app was such an awesome find. The graphics are amazing and it is really reminiscent of the actual game. The only downer is I wish you could play this online with other people. That is quite a disappointment as you can only play against the computer or someone if they’re sitting right next to you. If someone is by me I’m going to play the real game, so it was a disappointment to not be able to play online as that was the main reason I downloaded this.

Seriously addicting even for a dog lover!!

My friend got this card game while here on vacation and we played every day until she left. We went out and bought the game the same day and the expansion pack! It’s seriously addicting. Once you learn to play it goes pretty quickly or as slow as you want it to! Such a great game and could be enjoyable for children as well!

Fantastic port of a great board game!

Thu Nov 08 2018 AlaskaDaveAK

This is how you port a board game! Wonderfully easy to learn, yet hard to master. Great art, beautiful UI and simple minimalist board equals a wonderful experience. There are fantastic small things the developers did that really make me smile (the cats frown until they're fed and then they smile cute). The controls are super intuitive and the sounds and colors are perfection. Love Cat Lady the game and this digital port is just as great!

Easy and addictive

This is a fantastic, short game to take up time. I really enjoy the card taking mechanic, and the ease of the interface in assigning food to your cats. I would like to see Facebook removed as a requirement to access challenge mode, in particular due to Facebook’s ongoing security and privacy concerns. Because functionality is lost without using this third party, one star was deducted. If challenge mode didn’t exist, or Facebook was removed, five stars would be warranted.

Beware! Facebook required

Wed Jan 09 2019 Hank Venture

Challenge mode is inaccessible unless you have a Facebook account. Those of us without a Facebook account have no way of participating in challenges. It feels like half the app is withheld from paying customers. With all the privacy violations in the news it’s incredibly tone deaf of the developer to require Facebook to access part of the app. Had I known Facebook was essentially required for full access I would not have purchased this app.
