CatchCat: A Real-World Pokémon Go Experience for Cat Lovers
CatchCat – Pokémon Go for Cats, IRL
I built CatchCat, a mobile game where you spot real cats using your camera to create unique digital keepsakes. Instead of virtual monsters, you collect real felines with generated names and rarity tiers, turning every walk into an adventure. The app uses on-device detection and a playful snack-throwing mechanic to verify sightings, building a community map while prioritizing user privacy and safety.
Every sighting has a story, and a place in your journal.

Buggy as hell on Android. The cats in the "area" are definitely not real. I know the cats on my street... That defeats the whole purpose of the app if it's just random cats from around the world.
Also pretty clearly written by AI. The "can" recharge is a clear money grab. Poor execution all around.

Sister shared this with me. Actually looks cool.
They try to verify you are taking a live picture, so you get real cats.

It's 4 months that I'm in Boston instead of a little village in the middle of Italy and there are literally 0 stray cats here (opposed to home where there are many).
The app seems really cool btw, I will download it for sure when I go back home.
