About Trap The Cat
Trap The Cat is a browser-based puzzle game where players need to block paths on a hexagonal grid to stop a clever black cat from escaping the board.
At first, I thought this game would be easy because I only needed to click on a few cells. However, the cat keeps moving after every turn, so I have to think ahead instead of placing blocks randomly. One careless move can leave a clear route to the edge, forcing me to start over.
How to play
Trap The Cat begins with the cat near the middle of a board filled with hexagonal cells. I click or tap an empty cell to block it, turning it dark. After that, the cat moves automatically to an adjacent open cell, usually choosing a route that brings it closer to the edge.
My goal is to close off its escape routes until it has nowhere left to move. If it reaches the edge first, I lose the round.
Unlike Geometry Dash Lite, which relies on quick reactions and precise timing, Trap The Cat makes me slow down and think about where each move will lead. I get only one block per turn, so I try to predict the cat's next direction before clicking.
Trap The Cat rules
The rules of Trap The Cat are simple:
- Click or tap one empty cell to block it on each turn.
- Let the cat move automatically after every block.
- Prevent the cat from reaching the edge of the board.
- Win by surrounding the cat so it has no available moves.
- Lose if the cat escapes before you can trap it.
The main thing to remember is that blocking a single route does not guarantee success. I need to focus on the other paths that remain open.
How to win Trap The Cat
First, I check which routes connect the cat to the edge. Then I look for important cells that could help me cut off those routes. I prefer building connected barriers because isolated blocks often leave too many gaps.
Study the board to choose a better first move
I also avoid rushing through the opening turns. A few seconds spent studying the board can help me choose a better first move. As the cat changes direction, I reassess the situation and decide where the next block will have the greatest effect.

How do I win Trap The Cat?
Block important cells to restrict the cat's movement, connect barriers where possible, and close every available route before it reaches the edge.
Why does the cat keep escaping?
You may be blocking the path closest to it while leaving another route open. Look farther ahead and consider where the cat can move after your next turn.
