Cathouse is an Icehouse "game" for cats. After you leave the pieces standing on a table overnight, your cats score according to how much of a mess they make.
Setup[edit | edit source]
Place a stash of pieces out on table with the pieces standing upright. Tell the cat “do not touch”. Leave the pieces out overnight and then score.

- Each large piece knocked over = 3 point
- Each small piece knocked onto the floor = 4 points
