What is CatchCat, the Pokémon GO-inspired game
CatchCat is a new mobile application available for Android devices through Google Play.
Its operation is reminiscent of Pokémon GO, as it leverages geolocation and real-world exploration elements to create an interactive experience.
The main difference is that, instead of fictional creatures, the protagonists are real cats photographed by users.
How CatchCat works
Players can take photographs of cats they find in their neighborhood or in various locations.
The system identifies the animal and generates a virtual representation that other users in the same area can attempt to capture through a mini-game.
How CatchCat Works
Each cat receives its own characteristics within the application:
Rarity level
Tribe
Combat statistics
Unique collectible card
Additionally, the game digitally crops the original image to turn the cat into a card with an aesthetic similar to collectible card games.
Features coming in future updates
The developer confirmed that CatchCat will incorporate new features in upcoming versions.
The features that will arrive in future updates
Among them is a system for battles between captured cats, a mechanic reminiscent of player battles in Pokémon GO.
A version for iPhone is also in development, which will expand the game's reach to iOS users.

The project aims to help lost cats and promote adoptions
According to discussions between the community and the developer, there is a possibility of adding tools aimed at animal welfare.
Among the features being evaluated are systems to facilitate the reunion of lost cats with their owners and mechanisms to promote the adoption of animals seeking a home.
What privacy measures does CatchCat use
The developer noted that images are not uploaded to external servers. Additionally, cat detection and the capture mini-game can function without an internet connection.
What privacy measures does CatchCat use
The exact location where a cat was seen is also not shared with other users. The application only shows a general area to preserve the safety of the animals.
