Circle The Cat

Play Online Circle The Cat

Have you ever found yourself mesmerized by a simple puzzle that never feels quite the same each time you play? That’s exactly how Circle The Cat hooks you in. You’re faced with a ring of hexagonal tiles and a curious little cat sitting in the middle. Each turn you click on a tile to turn it into an obstacle, and then the cat takes a step toward the edge. Your mission is to block off all possible routes so the kitty can’t escape. It’s cute, it’s straightforward, and yet it manages to keep your brain buzzing for hours.

What makes it so addictive is the tug of war between you and the cat. On paper it seems trivial—just block off spaces, right? But as the barriers stack up, you start to realize the importance of planning several moves ahead. One wrong click can open a path you never noticed, and suddenly Mr. Whiskers is free. At the same time, there’s a real sense of satisfaction when you finally close off that last escape route. It’s a neat little strategy workout disguised as a casual game.

Over the years I’ve spotted a few versions with names like “Trap the Cat” or just plain “Cat Trap,” but they all play on the same brilliant concept. Some have different color schemes or slightly tweaked rules, but the heart of the challenge—boxing in the crafty feline—never changes. Whether you’re looking for a quick mental break between meetings or a low-pressure brain teaser before bed, this one’s a winner every time.
