You are a Cat. You live in a House. You share this house with your pet Hoomin. Shower this Hoomin with your Affection, then cause as much Mischief as you can without being thrown out of your House. The first Cat to score 9 Mischief points is the winner of the game!

In this furrocious feline card game of mischievous machinations, you play the role of a Cat doing what cats do best: tormenting their Hoomin pets! Play Affection cards into your House to gain their trust, then wait for the right moment to play Mischief cards to score points.

But be quick about it! The other Cats in your Neighborhood will play Incident cards to slow your progress to give themselves the upper claw.
