Secret Cat Forest is a beautifully illustrated simulation game designed for relaxation. Players venture into a quiet forest to gather resources and craft a variety of furniture. As you decorate your cabin, different cats will begin to visit. With an emphasis on 'healing' gameplay, the game features a day-night cycle, soothing nature sounds, and over 100 unique cats to discover and photograph.

Our Expert Score
Secret Cat Forest is the digital equivalent of a warm cup of cocoa on a rainy day. It’s a 'healing' game that eschews stressful timers and competitive leaderboards in favor of gentle observation and crafting. The core loop involves collecting wood to build furniture, which in turn attracts a variety of adorable felines to your cozy forest cabin.
What truly elevates this title is the attention to detail. Every cat has a distinct personality and specific requirements to visit, making each discovery feel earned. The sound design, featuring ambient forest noises and a soothing soundtrack, creates a meditative atmosphere. It’s a slow-paced experience meant to be checked a few times a day, providing a consistent sense of peace and progression as you fill your kitty collection book.
Features
Soothing ASMR-style sound design
Over 100 unique cats with quirky personalities
Intuitive crafting and decorating system
Dynamic weather and day/night transitions
Tips & Walkthrough
To find specific cats, check the 'Cat Book' for hints. Some rare visitors only appear when a specific combination of a cushion and a toy are placed together during the night cycle.
Gameplays
Tap the trees to gather wood. Different tree types provide different materials. Use the materials at the workbench to unlock new blueprints and upgrade your forest retreat.

I LOVE THIS GAME
Thu Mar 07 2024 Aria Shea!!!I like this game because it’s really fun, we can do fishing and then you can also tap the cats so then it makes noises and then it’s really fun because there’s like a bunch of different cats and you need to like get things out of this tree and then can make stuff and then once you get this ladder, then it’s like super cool cause you can like even put like so much stuff in the attic because the leads the attic it’s such a fun game. There’s so many reasons why and you can also get like rainbows and stars and you can also get like this flower trail too, so I personally think that this like one of my favourite games like my cat games or games in general probably be like really good for kids and for adults as well. We kind of get to relax because like those just like little of rain dribble when when there’s like rain it is such a fun game. I think that my two cats would actually even like it if they were human and usually cats only like mouses and feathers, so I think of this would be like a super fun game and it is a super fun game. You should definitely play it it is I’m telling you and you might think that’s boring for a bit but then you be like oh my gosh so much stuff to do oh look at this cat look at that cat, so you should get this game and download it now, I promise you if you download it you will love it. I promise you I think that everybody downloaded because it’s so fun there’s so much to do little cats are so adorable. So many and you need to get more stuff so that you can get more cats, so I personally think this is like such a fun game so you should definitely download it
Wood production idea
Sun Jan 07 2024 ghjcfjjjcdI’ve already written a review about how much I absolutely love the game but wish it was easier to create furniture since it gets expensive and you end up harvesting wood for days to make one thing. I had an idea that I think would be pretty cool to add in that would also make wood production easier. I think it would be really fun to add in another possible whiskers item. Either a seed or a sapling that you could use to grow more trees. It could unlock another area (maybe called the grove?) where you can plant your seeds. The trees could have different growth stages that all have different production rates. Ex. Sprout - 5 wood per minuet Seedling - 10 wood per minuet Sapling - 25 wood per minuet Juvenile - 35 wood per minuet Mature - 50 wood per minuet They could either be a permanent feature once you get the seed or they could only last about 1-2 weeks after reaching full maturity before disappearing and you would have to get another seed. There could even be multiple types of seeds that grow trees with different wood production rates, growth rates, and length that they stay alive. There could even be seasonal trees that you can only get through cat gifts (or specific seasonal cats) at certain times of the year. I think this could be a really great way to not only make wood production easier, but would also make players want to spend more time on the app everyday to be able to buy the whiskers item. I would really love for you to incorporate something like this into the game because I kind of feel like I’m stuck with just enough wood to make one or two items a week which is kinda disappointing since I used to be able to make multiple every day.
One of my absolute favorites
Sun May 29 2022 Shadowdawn28I got this game awhile ago, ended up deleting it because of my crappy phone, and rediscovered it. It’s one of my all time favorites now. It is a very fun, calming game. The cats are adorable, and it can be addicting, but the game is made in a way you don’t spend hours playing it. It’s so hard to find games now days that aren’t grabbing for money, and this is one of the few I’ve found. Each cat animation is so cute, and I love getting the furniture and finding and befriending each one. It can also be played long term, with tons of furniture and cats, and even accessories for the cats. I would definitely recommend it. Tons of props to the developers. On a side note, I would like the “night” time of the game to be a little sooner. It can be difficult to befriend the cats, since I usually only see them once every day from the late time. Another fun improvement I’d like is maybe challenges or events. The furniture collecting for rewards is fun, and It would be a cool addition to have more. Especially if there’s unique ones for holidays and such. Also, more cat sounds, and/or a way to see the cats animation before you befriended it as well as the new one. Either way, great game guys!! I’ve spent and will continue to spend many hours on it.
Best game ever
Sun Jul 30 2023 24601yeetI absolutely love this game. All the cats are so cute and all the furniture is adorable. I wish it was easier to get the supplies to upgrade your fishing hook as you can only get them from Kitty gifts and that takes a bit too long so yeah. But other than that, this is my favorite game and I love it. PS I think it would be really cool if you could have friends in this game. Like if one of your peers was playing this game you could friend them and then invite them over to your house. I also think it would be cool if you could like play with the cats. Like once you get all the intimacy levels. For example if you have maxed out Tushie’s intimacy level then a little button pops up in the Archive next to Tushie. And whenever Tushie comes over, you can click on the button and then like play with him or feed him or scratch him or something. I also think it would be cool if you could like adopt the cats. So once you max out their intimacy a little adopt button appears next to their archive profile and then they would always be at your house. They would move of course so that they didn’t take up the space of other cats but like yeah. Love the game and everything about it. Good job! ❤️
If you have any doubts about getting this game, lemme take care of that rn.
Tue Oct 24 2023 _Froggy_Ghost_I’m telling you right now that this is THE cat game ever. It’s adorable and relaxing, the gameplay is simple and easy to follow, and if you don’t have the time to seriously invest in a game on your phone, this is the game for you. The cats will visit when you don’t have the app open, so you can play for a few minutes and then come back hours later. It’s aesthetically pleasing, and the tutorial isn’t agonizingly long or hand hold-ey, like, yk those games where you download them and the tutorial can last for forever, even when you have enough of a handle on the game where you can figure it out yourself? This game doesn’t do that! The cats are adorable, and the best part— NO ADS. Like okay, you’re gonna have the area where you can watch something to, say, double your daily reward/the boxes you find in the river, or get wood offline, but you’re NEVER interrupted by ads. And take it from a teenager with ADHD who’s played almost every game on the market to try and keep himself entertained. THIS GAME IS SO WORTH IT. One of the best I’ve played.
Purrrfect
Mon Dec 09 2024 Coral TurtleI never write reviews for games or download apps from ads, but this is an exception. I couldn’t recommend this game enough! The art style is very cute, I like the weather changes, and the music, it’s extremely relaxing and perfect for my busy life. The game progresses at just the right pace, I never feel bored or stuck at a certain point. Yet it’s always giving me new goals to work towards! This is not a game you can just sit down and pass a bunch of levels, it requires you to collect and wait for furniture and items, which i actually love! I don’t spend hours on it every day and just check in once in a while, perfect for someone who try’s to limit their screen time. Also another green flag of this app is its relationship with Ads, most apps shove ad after ad in your face after every level or movement, but secret cat forest lets you exist ad free unless you choose a power up! Highly recommend this adorable cat app, happy gaming. 🐾🐱
I love this game. It’s just one thing that bothers me.
Tue Apr 29 2025 🐾kitten🐾My last review was SUPER positive, because this game really is amazing! I try to play as much as I can, every day if possible. It’s really amazing in every way. I’ve been playing for years now, and I’ve gotten really far. I’ve really enjoyed all the years I’ve been playing. I’ve already unlocked almost every place. I unlocked the campsite not that long ago, but still got far since then. I really love this game and want to keep being positive about it! There’s only one thing that makes me upset. This app doesn’t really have any glitches in general, but I’m SO sad about this one thing that has been happening the past 6 months. And it completely stops me from playing the game. Some days, I try to load the game, and when I swipe down on the menu to start up the game, which you do, it only clears the sky and the text. I have this blank sunny sky and I can’t play. I can’t do anything at all. I want to play every day so bad, but this is why I can’t. Please fix this. This was written a few weeks later, and the problem went away, so that’s that. Well, I could write more in the future.
Adorably amazing!
Sat Jan 06 2024 rayakeyI’ve been playing “Secret Cat Forest” for two weeks now, and I absolutely LOVE this game! In the past I remember downloading this app but I wasn’t able to progress far because of device-borrowing difficulties, uninstalled it, and found it again! The kitties are super cute, and the choices and furniture is so unique, made so that you can choose your own aesthetic and also watch the cats come into the cottage and rest, eat, sleep, play, and leave for a while before coming back again! You can collect wood from the Infinity Tree and craft furniture, and catch fish in the river. The daily gifts consist of wood bundles and a “whiskers” every week, and you can craft amazing items with the whiskers. The game is made with smooth graphics, no pop-up ads, and amazingly cute kitties! Purrfect for cat lovers and addicted gamers alike. Reviewer’s Note: It can take a while to progress, so be patient!! Also, internet isn’t required to play the game <3
