Find the Kitten: Spot the Cat

Every target in Find the Kitten: Spot the Cat is a cat. The levels are illustrated scenes with cats hidden in them, and the developer describes the hiding places as clever, so the animals are not simply sitting in plain view.

Two features help with that. You can zoom in and pan around each scene, which makes it possible to check a small shape up close before you commit to it. And there are hints for when a cat stays out of sight. The difficulty goes up as you progress, so later levels ask for more careful looking than the first ones.

The developer calls it cosy and relaxing and aims it at cat lovers. It is built for both phones and desktop computers, and the developer mentions touch controls specifically, which fits the tall portrait frame. On a computer, a mouse click does the same job as a tap.

Look over the illustrated scene for hidden cats. Zoom in and pan around to inspect areas more closely. When you find a cat, tap it on a touch screen or click it with the mouse. If you cannot find the last one, use a hint. Levels get harder as you go, so expect the cats to be better hidden later on.

Zoom is your best tool here. Start with the whole scene in view, then zoom in and pan across it in sections, checking any patch of fur colour or ear-like outline. Since difficulty increases, keep hints for later levels where the hiding places become more demanding.

A hidden object game where the only targets are cats, with zoom, pan, hints and rising difficulty. It uses a portrait frame (720 by 1280). The developer says it works on mobile and desktop, with tap or mouse click.

Hidden Turtle uses the same single-animal idea with turtles in scenes that get harder as you go, and Seek Find also lets you drag around and zoom into large scenes.
