Plan your next Flats Full of Cats session
Our independent guide breaks down Flats Full of Cats into its core components, offering observations that let you decide how to approach each part without promising hidden rewards. Use these exercises to compare modes, themes, and input options for a clearer personal strategy.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mode Comparison
Play a short segment in both Normal and Expert modes. Note how detailed versus minimalist cat designs affect your scanning speed and visual comfort, then decide which style fits your preferences.
- Start with Normal Mode to learn each apartment’s layout before trying Expert Mode.
- Use Time Attack only after you feel comfortable with the other modes if you enjoy timing your runs.
02 / THE GUIDE
Theme Exploration
Spend a few minutes in each themed apartment. Observe how décor and cat designs reflect science, mystery, or adventure, and record which theme feels most engaging for future purchases.
- Play the free floor first to see which theme you prefer before buying more.
- Notice how cat silhouettes echo the apartment’s theme; this can guide your search.

03 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs Keyboard
Navigate the free floor using a controller and compare responsiveness and ease of selection with whatever input method you normally use.
- If you enjoy richer artwork, begin with Normal Mode.
- Switch to Expert Mode if a simpler visual field helps you locate cats faster.
04 / THE GUIDE
Time Attack Trial
Complete one Time Attack round on a single apartment. Track your time and look for patterns in cat placement that could help improve future runs without feeling pressured.
- Enable Steam Cloud in the client to protect your progress.
- Share the game via Family Sharing so friends can try it without buying a separate copy.

Steam Feature Check
Confirm that Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud are listed for the game, and that Family Sharing is available if you want friends to try it.
