Download HERE COME THE CATS
The only official downloads are the Game Jolt page and the itch.io page. Both are free. This site does not host the zip.
- Game Jolt — HERE COME THE CATS (listed at 62 MB, Windows, v1.0.0).
- itch.io — paledoptera / no-cats (file name here-come-the-cats.zip, listed at 61 MB, Windows).
What the two stores actually print

I print 61–62 MB on purpose. Collapsing those two labels into one number would hide a real difference between the pages. There is no published SHA-256, and the unpacked size is not stated, so both stay blank.
After the zip
Unzip the archive and run the program inside the folder. The stores do not name the executable, so I will not invent one. Unsigned Windows builds often trip SmartScreen. The usual system path is More info, then Run anyway. That is general Windows behavior, not a note from Paledoptera.
Places this game is not
The itch platform line says Windows. The public export presets include macOS and Linux targets aimed at a local build folder, and those targets are not what the stores publish. There is no official mobile package and no official web build. Search results for “play online” do not match a build you can load in a browser. If you are on a Mac, read the Mac page before you download a Windows zip you cannot launch.

Questions
Is there a browser version?
No official browser build is listed. The stores sell a Windows zip only.
Is it on Steam?
This release is not on Steam. A different game uses a similar name on Steam; do not treat that store page as Paledoptera’s build.
Is there an official APK?
Neither store lists Android, iOS, or an APK. I would not install a repack that claims otherwise.
