Cat Racer
Six cats, four circuits, three laps each. Cats don't cruise — they burst. There's no accelerator, so spend the stamina bar or bank it.
Play
Runs right here — no install, no account, no network calls.
Steer with ← →, hold Shift to pounce. Space pauses. Open it fullscreen for a wider circuit.
Features
One baked mesh, six racers, and a stamina bar that decides every corner.
One Cat, Six Coats
A single low-poly mesh, baked from Blender, recoloured into six racers — each with its own coat and its own line around the track.
Four Circuits
Alley Sprint, Rooftop Run, Garden Loop, Night Market. Finish in the top three and the next one unlocks.
Burn or Bank
Pouncing drains the stamina bar; trotting refills it. Spend the last of it at the wrong moment and your cat flops on the tarmac.
No Accelerator
A cat always trots. The down arrow is the only way to shed speed, and Shift is the only way to gain it — there's no cruise setting.
Built For Thumbs
Drag the left half of the screen to steer, hold the right half to pounce — the same two inputs as the keyboard, remapped for touch.
Plays Fair
Respects prefers-reduced-motion, auto-pauses when you switch tabs, and keeps the same width of road however the frame is shaped.
The Circuits
Three laps a race, six cats on the grid. A lap runs roughly 45–55 seconds depending on the track and how hard you take the corners.
| Track | Length | Half-width | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alley Sprint | 797.8 units | 3.5 | The wide, forgiving opener — unlocked from the start. |
| Rooftop Run | 851.0 units | 3.2 | Two long straights joined by tight rooftop corners. |
| Garden Loop | 753.4 units | 3.5 | Shortest of the four, and the most technical. |
| Night Market | 777.2 units | 3.0 | The narrowest circuit, threaded between market stalls. |
The Racers
Six coats on one mesh, each running its own racing-line policy.
Mochi
YouOrange tabby. Every input in this game steers Mochi — the other five are rivals.
Shadow
RivalBlack coat. Burns its stamina bar early and hopes the lead holds.
Biscuit
RivalCream coat. Hoards stamina and saves the pounce for the final lap.
Smoke
RivalBlue-grey coat. Only sprints on the straights, never through a corner.
Ash
RivalBrown tabby. Erratic — the least predictable line on the grid.
Snow
RivalWhite coat. Mirrors whatever the player does, a beat late.

There's no accelerator — a cat always trots on its own.

Nothing leaves your browser
Cat Racer is a single self-contained HTML file with a cat model baked in from Blender. It makes no network requests, loads no external fonts or scripts, and has no analytics.
There are no cookies and no local storage — which circuits are unlocked lives in memory only, and resets the moment you close the tab.
The game respects prefers-reduced-motion, is playable end to end from the keyboard, and auto-pauses when you switch tabs.
