what is Cats are Mining?

Mine cosmic catnip, breed alien cats, and build factories to conquer planets in this space-themed idle game.

Play as the Alien Cat King on a mission to impress the Queen by mining resources, upgrading skills, and expanding your empire across four planets. Manage production and breeding to achieve galactic conquest.

It sits in the Clicker / Idle / Numbers / Management / Automation corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
