Now with multiple photos per cat, a redesigned profile with tabbed Details & Comments, friendly location names, and a new map preview. Find cats near you!
The Catting Hour is the friendliest way to discover and share the cats in your neighborhood.
Spotted a cat on your walk? Drop a pin on the map, snap a few photos, and add it to the community. Curious who's roaming nearby? Explore the map to find every cat your neighbors have logged.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Map every cat — see cats near you as paw markers you can tap to preview
• Add a cat in seconds — drop a pin, add photos, and note their type, temperament, and whether they're indoor or outdoor
• Add multiple photos so every cat gets a proper gallery
• Leave comments and likes on the cats you love
• Don't know a cat's name? Log them as unknown and let the community suggest one
• Follow other cat finders and see the cats they discover
• Earn achievements as you spot and share more cats
Locations are shown as friendly neighborhood and city names — never exact coordinates — and your own location is only ever used to center the map.
Whether you're a devoted cat person or just enjoy the neighborhood regulars, The Catting Hour turns every cat sighting into a little moment of joy.
Download it, start spotting, and see who's out during the catting hour.
