A Cat's Life it's a family game for 3 to 4 players.

The players take the role of domestic cats. They have to struggle to keep their moral high since they aren't alone in the house and there is not room for all.

They must be careful with the actions they do. If the actions are good in the eyes of their owner, they can get great profits. But, if they are caught fighting, scratching the curtains or eating from the trash they will suffer the wrath of the owner.

The game is composed of a modular game board and a set of action tiles. Each time you play the game, the board and the distribution of the action tiles will be different.

Each player has a set of four cats numbered from 1 to 4. By turns, they place cats on the board, actions or rooms. First the number 1 cat of each player, and so on until the last number 4 is placed. Then they reveal the destination of the owner of the cats.

Now begins the actions phase. First the owner moves one room towards the revealed destination, then the players remove by turns their cat number 1 executing it's action. They follow this way until all four cats of every player are removed.

If the owner is in the same room as a cat, the player gains a reward or a punishment depending if the action is legal or illegal. If two or more players are in the same action tile with the same number, they must fight for the action since only one player can make the action.

Players can run to reach faraway rooms, hunt for treasures, meow to call the owner and perform some skills to break the rules.

The game has 7 rounds (in Spain a cat has 7 lives instead of 9); the player with the most victory points at the end of the seventh round wins the game.
