About This Game

Defend the dried fish!

The mice have their eyes on your dried fish. Time for the cats to stand guard!

Cats: Home Defense is a pixel-art tower defense game that combines wave-based combat with randomized upgrades. Your cat automatically aims and fires fishbone weapons while you choose upgrades, time your skills, and use mouse traps to stop the advancing hordes.

Choose a cat. Find your playstyle.

Choose from six cats: a tabby, an orange cat, a Siamese, a Ragdoll, a British Shorthair, and a calico. Each has distinct combat traits and signature abilities. Focus on sustained damage, area attacks, slowing enemies, or skill combinations, and discover a build that suits you.

Turn fishbones into formidable weapons

Chain lightning through groups of mice, burn enemies with fire, and slow their advance with cold. Experiment with poison, magnetic effects, and bone-splitting attacks. Earn experience during combat and choose from randomized upgrades to combine damage, critical hits, piercing shots, and stronger skills.

Your cat attacks. You make the key decisions.

Deploy Stinky Fish Cans, unleash Claw Strikes, summon Fishbone Turrets, and boost your cat with Catnip Frenzy. Buy mouse traps, glue traps, cheese, and other battle items, then use them at the right place and time to keep mice away from your fish stash.

The mice have tricks of their own

Armored mice withstand frontal attacks, miner mice burrow to evade danger, wizard mice heal their companions, and splitter mice create more trouble when defeated. Face the Mouse King Vanguard and its summons and team shields. Adjust your damage and crowd control to hold the line.

Try a new combination next time

Defend household locations against successive waves and recruit supporting cats to combine their strengths. Between runs, spend the resources you earn on permanent upgrades and prepare for your next defense.
