Cat Sort: Purr Puzzle

A gentle sorting puzzle with clear rules

Each level begins with several breeds mixed across cat trees. Only the top cat can move, and it can land on an empty shelf or on the same breed, so every move changes which cats are available next.

Matching cats already stacked at the top travel together. That small rule makes early levels quick to read while leaving room for harder layouts, hidden kittens, and move limits later in the ten-level demo.

How to clear the first level

Move the exposed black cat to the empty tree, place the exposed ginger cat with the ginger group, then move the remaining black group together. Both completed shelves purr and award the three-star result.

There is no timer in the opening puzzle, so it is worth checking which breed will be exposed before committing a grouped move.

Useful options and later twists

The browser build supports drag controls as well as tap-to-select play on desktop and mobile. A color-blind mode gives every breed its own badge, and the creator recommends fullscreen for the clearest view.

Later levels introduce boxed kittens, shelves that wake after another shelf is completed, and limited-move challenges. Undo, an extra shelf, hints, a flashlight, and shuffle are available as boosters.

Creator's description

The opening puzzle teaches the rule without a timer: three shelf moves separate four ginger cats from four black cats, and completing both groups awards stars before the next level.
