The one-liner

Cat Collector is Pokémon for real cats.

About Cat Collector

See a cat outside? Snap a photo. Cat Collector checks there's a real cat in the picture, then adds it to your collection with the place you found it and the name you gave it. Between walks, the New Cat Feed shows cats being caught around the world, and any of them is one tap from joining your collection. Someone's orange tabby from three cities over can end up next to the cat from your own couch.

Every cat is a real cat. No AI-generated cats, no chat, no DMs. Think of it as a mix of Animal Crossing, Pokémon, and a very stripped-down Instagram. Two weeks after launch, cat collectors are catching cats in 29 countries.

How it works

Catch a cat. See a cat, point your camera, snap it. It's yours.
Collect from the feed. The New Cat Feed shows cats being caught around the world; tap one to add it to your collection.
Crown a Top Cat. Every neighborhood ranks its most collected cat of the week.
Send stickers. Collected cats become iMessage stickers you can text from the keyboard.

Story angles

Pokemon for real cats: a collecting game where the creatures are the actual cats of your neighborhood.
Instagram for cats: a social feed with nothing on it but real cats, and no DMs to worry about.
Your cat could be the next internet celebrity: every neighborhood crowns its most collected cat of the week, the Top Cat. See a live board at this week's Top Cats of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie.
A world tour on the Cat Map: from the bodega cats of New York to the street cats of Indonesia.
Real cats, not AI: every cat here starts as a photo of a cat that exists.
A reason to walk: people go out to get their steps in and come home with a new cat.
Privacy by design: friends see only the neighborhood where a cat was found, never the exact spot; no email, no account, no chat.
