How to play Friskies® Cat Fishing:
• Place your mobile phone or tablet on a flat surface near your cat.
• Tap “PLAY”
• Watch your cat tap the screen to catch fish and score points.
• To personalize the screen just for your little kitty, tap on the fish in upper right-hand corner. Select any of the 10 different fish and pond options and hit reset.
• If your cat stops playing for 30 seconds or more, the game will "meow" to attract her attention • Reward your cat for winning. (We suggest some Friskies® Seafood Sensations®.)
Please be aware that in our experience, the bare glass screen holds up trouble-free to a cat’s claws, but plastic add-on screen protectors might not.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a wonderful app but our cats dont go for it. We put it on the most realistic mode and they still would not. They try to smell the fish then run away. Its not the app its just our cats that are the problem.
We put the game in front of our cat and she completely ignores it. We dont know why she wont play it! It seems like a good game, but our cat is just not interested.
We put it in front of our cat for 30 minutes and she walked away she didnt like the game at all also why do we have to put in our email.
They want us to create an account for Purina? Just play the stupid game? Dont waste your time. We deleted this garbage.
Endless prodding to sign up for newsletters, etc. Used to be a nice free app.
When ever we start a round of any sort of sound, Penny ( our beloved oversized female cat) whenever she hears the noise, she goes around the house trying to find the other animal, this mostly reveals how stubborn she can be. That is why we rated it 4 stars. OOPS HERE SHE COMEKSKSH.
Well our cat didnt like it he didnt see anything into it if u think your cat might like it then sure but we think it needs some changes so pls do that.
The old version from 2 years ago worked just fine. Open the game, give your phone to the cat. Let them play. Guest mode doesnt work on this new (cr)App it just hangs on Just a second. Try to create an account, probably just so that Purina can send you spam, and you will get a network request failed. What a waste.
Seems like something our cats will really enjoy! Theyre always pawing at our phone so Im sure theyll love this. The colors are nice and bright and we love the background sounds. However, even though we know this is for cats, we were sad to see that there is a spelling error in the app. If you start as a guest and dont sign in, it says you may loose game settings when Im pretty sure they mean lose. Just a small detail we hope the developers can catch and fix.
We love this game, but theres one problem… We use it more than our cats do! Haha.
Seems like a great game but neither one of our cats could care less about the fish.
We originally downloaded this game for the cats, who werent interested, but our toddler loves it. He giggles like crazy every time he scares a fish away! The last couple updates have been broken, somehow, though. The app wont load! We just get a black screen for a few moments, then it crashes. The toddler is quite upset. (Although, he IS two, so he is often upset, haha!) We look forward to a working update.
We would be happy to pay for having the original version back. Previously, the game was simple and enjoyable for hours. The cats couldnt help themselves and went wild on it. To use this version however, you must first create an account, provide your contact information, build a profile for your cat, upload a picture… They changed the look of the fish, and there too many options. Our cats lose interest after a few minutes. Fiskers botched a good thing, and can now abuse your notifications and send you marketing.
After 30 seconds app puts up persistent membership wall.
For some reason this app just started randomly crashing every time we tried to open it on our iPad! Before that it worked wonderfully but not anymore.
Tried to sign up for game nowhere to be found. Ill show it downloaded but wont open.
Dont bother with this one. Way too many pop ups in the beginning to get set up. Nothing but a commercial advertising gimmick.
There is no fishes on the screen.
Downloaded 3 times, updated system, still doesnt open.
Our kitten loved it couldnt stop playing with it and was so entertained by the fish swimming around.
Our 6 month old kitten/cat loves this but we would recommend a screen protector cuz she was trying to scratch our phone.
Game is really solid with good customization options, many cats will be able to enjoy this, easily caught our cats attention XD.
A funnygame,but our cats just sit on our iPad,they don't know how to play ,so boring.
Dont know. Too much information to register.
We have claws in our iPad because of this app.
We love how you can customize everything, but our cats prefer Roblox.
Great game our cat cant stop playing with it and she broke our phone screen so if you dont want your screen broken, then dont get it.
When we first got the game, our cat didnt like it, but after a long nap, we let her try it again, went crazy with it for a straight hour now shes knocked out again.
So we are a therian and we love this game.
This game is truly amazing and wholesome. There are zero ads and you get to have the same perks as a member would when you dont pay for anything. Our cat likes to stay around the screen, but we dont know how into it he really is. We would suggest playing this on a rager screen like an iPad, though, so your cat can see the fish better. Overall 10/10 will be keeping.
We like the game but our cat doesnt like it at all but our dog loves it so much he would just sit there and play and try to eat it it was so funny but he got slobber on our phone the whole reason why our cat doesnt like to play it is because she knows that its not real and because she hates us so much but we love her.
Our cat loves this game and insists on playing it every night before going to bed. If we try to skip a night, she sulks until we give in. Honestly, we think shed like us to buy her her own iPad so she didnt have to share ours.
We think the app it great, our kitten seems to like it but after about 2 seconds she reverts back to attacking and eating our phone instead, either way it's cute so.
We ts the best one ever but it is so much fun to play with and we love it its the best thing ever and its the best one ever and its so much fun we love it so much and more So we hope you enjoy it the most.
Instructions unclear: Cat slept on phone. Game was more fun for us than him.
Shes trying to eat our phone because she thinks there is fish inside.
This wouldve been a perfect games but it keeps logging us out and every time it does it makes us make a new cat account instead of letting us choose from an existing one, even if we hit remember us it still logs us out, if theres a way to fix that then Ill go up to 5 stars like we want to.
This is pretty good but our cats never actually attacked them they just watched them and looked like they were going to get them.
Its okay for what it is and we love the idea but our cats had interest in it for less than a minute before she was off playing with random objects again.
It was fun to watch them look at the fish but, we could tell that it was hard to keep them active on them, our kittens are like 10 weeks old so there pretty all over the place haha. We would recommend this app to an older cat.
Our cat didnt play and he just walked away.
By the time we get thru all the annoying pop ups and interrogations to just play the game the cat is no longer interested in the screen. Cut out all the dumb questions and just let us fish. Its a cat app, not a tinder profile.
Our cat doesnt use or understand it but Its entertaining for people.
So we heard the game is good and stuff but Im trying to make the account but Ive been sitting here for 20 minutes with our cat waiting on the just a sec ! Please wait.. Page after creating our profile and it still hasnt loaded . Please fix this bug and this is very appreciated if fixed.
Our cat loves this game but he accidentally closes it within a few seconds of playing. We wish the creators would enable the feature that makes it harder to exit an app with just one swipe. Ive seen other apps have this, like for example kids games, where you have to swipe up twice in a row and with more intention to exit the app.
We have two cats and they LOVE this game! Every time they see our phone they think Im going to put the game on.
2/3 of our cats like this game and actually play it. The others will pay half attention to the fish moving. Our baby on the other hand absolutely looooooves it.
Well we thought it was a fun game and we thought maybe our cats would play it but the didn't.
Having an issue where the app isnt playing sound, tried reinstalling and nothing. Our cat isnt interested since theres no feedback.
Our cat just decided to lay on our iPad /: ( 5 star for now till we see what our other cats do).
