About Cats and Trees

Cats and Trees is an idle clicker built around a simple loop: cats shake fruit loose from tall trees, and you spend what falls on making them better at it. The fruit sits out of reach near the top of the branches, so each knock sends down a little produce along with wood, and both feed back into upgrades that raise how hard and how often your cats work. Fourteen kinds of fruit exist in total, and unlocking them gives the progression a clear shape rather than an endless number climb. Sessions stay relaxed. You can tap along manually when you want to push past a milestone, or leave the cats to it and come back to a fuller stockpile. The appeal of Cats and Trees lies in reading which upgrade unblocks the next one, not in reflexes.

How to Play Cats and Trees

Click or tap a tree to knock it and send fruit and wood down to your cats. Collected resources are spent through the upgrade panels, which improve gathering speed, carrying capacity and the trees themselves. Everything runs on the mouse on desktop, or single taps on a touchscreen, and no keyboard is needed. Production continues while you idle, so you can stop clicking and let the cats gather.

Tips and Tricks

Spend early resources on anything that raises your gathering rate first, since those upgrades compound over the whole session while one-off purchases do not.
Keep an eye on your wood as well as your fruit. Wood tends to gate the upgrades that make trees more productive, so spending it all in one place slows everything down.
Click manually when you are close to affording a meaningful upgrade, then switch to idling once the cheaper improvements are bought and passive income does the work.
Before buying the most expensive option on screen, check whether a smaller upgrade unlocks or discounts it. Working out that order is usually faster than saving up blindly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to download anything to play?

No. Cats and Trees runs in the browser on Dubdoo, with no install, no plugin and no account needed.

How many types of fruit can I collect?

There are fourteen different fruits in total, and working towards the ones you have not seen yet is the main long-term goal.

Do I have to keep clicking the whole time?

No. Clicking speeds things up, but once your cats and trees are upgraded the game keeps producing on its own while you watch.

What is the wood actually for?

Wood comes down alongside the fruit when a tree is knocked, and it pays for improvements to your setup rather than counting towards the fruit collection.
