Cougar Simulator: Big Cats — life on four silent paws

Slip into the role of a wild cougar and roam a wide open world of forests, farms, rivers, and fields. Hunt to stay fed, carve out a territory, and start a family that learns to fight and forage beside you. Quests, stat upgrades, and unlockable abilities keep the loop moving while new animals—docile and dangerous—change how each outing unfolds. It runs in the browser, loads fast, and invites long, freeform sessions in the wild.

Life of a big cat — how it plays

Move with WASD or the arrow keys, sprint with Shift, jump with Space, and attack with the left mouse button. Each hunt rebuilds health and stamina, and completed tasks earn coins and experience for better speed, damage, and resilience. Find a mate, raise cubs that aid in hunts, and keep an eye out for threats like wolves or snakes when the grass starts to rustle. Skins—including panther- and jaguar-style coats—and optional visual effects let your cougar stand out.
