Description from the developer
The Runaway Cats is a challenging Puzzle game where the goal is to catch the cat. Cats are intelligent creatures who know their way out, so you need to think hard about which trap to set. Narrowing down the path and leaving the cat without the exit is a win in this puzzle. Each time you choose a tile, the cat moves to the next one unless she is in a trap. The Cat will try to get out of the maze at every chance she gets, so you have to prevent that by blocking the exit with obstacles.
