How does the cat decide where to move?

It runs a breadth-first search for the shortest path from its current cell to any open boundary cell and takes the first step along that path, breaking ties in a fixed direction order. With no path out, it is trapped and you win.

Can I block a cell next to the cat?

Yes · you can block any empty cell on the board, including ones touching the cat or out on the edge. Closing off the cat's likely escape routes early is usually the right idea.

Is every round solvable?

A round is always winnable in principle, but a hard board with few head-start walls can be unforgiving · if the cat reaches the edge it escapes and the round is lost. The board and the cat's moves are fully deterministic, so the same seed is the same puzzle.

How does difficulty change it?

Higher difficulty starts you with fewer pre-blocked cells. Higher labyrinth levels grow the hex board, giving the cat more room to manoeuvre.

Does it work offline?

Yes. PlayMemorize is a Progressive Web App. Install once and Catch the Cat works without an internet connection.
