Friskies CatFishing 2 for PC
Reviewed by Stuart Dredge · Updated

Your cat can play Friskies CatFishing 2 on your desktop or laptop while you work nearby: no need to hunt for a phone or tablet. The app lets cats tap and swipe at animated fish on screen, earning points as the difficulty ramps up across three difficulty tiers. On a PC, the game stays open in a window beside your other work, letting you start a session and step away while your cat plays at their own pace. With a larger desktop monitor, some cats engage longer than on a cramped phone screen, and you avoid juggling devices throughout the day.
Friskies CatFishing 2 is designed for cats to play independently. You launch the game, place your screen in front of your pet, and let them chase and tap moving fish. The app tracks their score and can share results to Facebook or a global leaderboard. Whether you're using your desktop as a dedicated cat entertainment station or running Friskies CatFishing 2 on PC during your regular computer time, the mechanics stay the same, but the environment changes how your cat experiences the game.
How the Game Engages Your Cat
The core loop centers on your cat tapping fish that swim across the display. Each tap registers a point, and the game grows more challenging by adding more fish simultaneously. If your cat stops interacting for 30 seconds, the app emits a meow sound to recapture attention. Cats with short attention spans may play for just a few minutes before moving on; others stay engaged longer, especially with a bigger screen. Feeding a reward (like Friskies Seafood Sensations) after a play session can reinforce the experience, though some cats show little interest regardless of incentive.
Setup Steps for Desktop Play
Getting Friskies CatFishing 2 for Windows PC requires an account and cat profile before you reach the actual game. Here's what unfolds:
- Create a user account with email and password
- Build a cat profile with your pet's name and birth date
- Choose automatic fish selection or customize fish colors
- Tap start to launch the fishing game
- Place your device on a flat surface in front of your cat
- Monitor play for safety and reward afterward
Playing at Your Desk
Running Friskies CatFishing 2 for computer changes how you might integrate the app into your day. Instead of keeping your phone occupied, you can launch it on your desktop monitor beside email or other open windows. Once your cat begins playing, you can return to work; the game runs independently and meows if attention wanes. On a larger PC screen, some cats respond more readily to the moving fish than on a phone. The challenge: the setup process demands several login and profile steps every time you open the app, even if you select remember me. On a home desktop where you're already logged in, this friction matters less than on a mobile device you carry around. Still, some users find the repeated screens tedious when they simply want their cat to play.
What to Know Before Playing
Friskies CatFishing 2 displays colorful animated fish, and some players mention the visuals feel dated or unpolished. More importantly, the app's long onboarding process (account creation, cat profile entry, and profile screens after every session) can bore your cat before they even start playing. Once past setup, a few cats play enthusiastically for minutes, while others lose interest quickly. The bare glass screen handles cat claws well, but the app's core appeal varies widely: some households report immediate engagement, while others see their cats walk away within minutes. A larger monitor may help hold attention, but no guarantee exists that your cat will play at all, regardless of screen size.

FAQ
Do I need an account every time I play?
Yes. Even if you check remember me, the app requires you to log in and confirm your cat's profile on each launch. The repeated steps take several minutes, which can bore your cat before the game even starts. This is a frequent complaint from users seeking a simpler setup process.
Will Friskies CatFishing 2 work on my computer?
You can install Friskies CatFishing 2 on PC using an emulator, though some cats respond better to larger screens than others. Not all cats show interest in the game: engagement depends on your individual pet's personality and attention span.
What happens if my cat stops playing?
After 30 seconds of inactivity, the app emits a meow sound to try to attract your cat back to the screen. If your cat ignores it and wanders off, the game continues waiting for input or ends the session.
Can I customize the fish appearance?
Yes, you can select automatic fish assignment or choose custom colors for the fish. Some players note that colorful fish (like purple koi for a parrot) add visual interest, though cat response varies.
Is the screen safe for my cat?
The bare glass screen holds up to cat claws without damage. Plastic screen protectors, however, may not withstand scratching. Be aware that cats may bite or claw more aggressively than expected during play, so monitor your pet.
