Tips to Win Cats 2048
A few habits separate a quick cat-astrophe from the Grand Meow.
Keep your biggest cat in a corner
Pick one corner and raise your largest cat there so it never gets stranded in the middle of the board.
Plan one pounce ahead
Before each swipe, look at where a new cat will spawn, and avoid moves that scatter kittens across all sixteen squares.
Chain your merges
Line up matching cats so a single swipe triggers a cascade of merges and a big score jump.

Cute tiles, same merge ladder
