What Cat Atlas is

Cat Atlas treats feline knowledge the way an atlas should: recognised breeds, rare and regional breeds, natural and ancient lines, landrace populations, wildcat hybrids, developing breeds, extinct historical types, coat and pattern variants — even famous individual cats — each catalogued distinctly rather than flattened into one list. A breed-matcher quiz finds companions that fit your home, themed rows surface family-friendly, apartment-suited, quiet or playful cats, and the whole catalogue lives on your device from first launch.

What it does

  • Distinct catalogue sections from recognised breeds to famous cats
  • Breed-matcher quiz tuned to your home and lifestyle
  • Side-by-side breed comparison
  • Cat of the Day and themed discovery rows
  • Care and ownership guidance per breed
  • Offline-first: the catalogue lives on your device

Wikipedia, Pokédex and cat-ownership guide — in one pocket

Cat Atlas is for the moment 'what breed is that?' becomes 'could that breed live with us?' — with honest care requirements alongside the beautiful portraits.
