About Katwars

Katwars is a tiny, fast cat-photo arcade. Two cats appear, you tap the cuter one, and that single tap updates a global ELO rating ladder — the same kind of system used to rank chess players. Win battles and your cat climbs; the best fighters reach the leaderboard and the Hall of Fame.

How it works

• Vote. Every visit drops you straight into a matchup. Tap the cuter cat — no sign-up, no friction.
• Enter your cat. Upload a photo and your cat joins the arena with its own profile, shareable card, and a shot at the top of the ladder.
• Challenge anyone. Start a head-to-head duel from any cat’s profile, share the link, and let the crowd settle it — first to the vote target wins.
• Climb & brag. Ratings, win streaks, breeds, daily kittens, and monthly tournaments all feed the leaderboard. Share your champion’s card and recruit voters.

The idea

Ranking cats is a delightfully low-stakes excuse for a clean ELO system, great share cards, and a viral head-to-head loop. It’s built to be cheap to run, fast on mobile, and genuinely fun for ten seconds or ten minutes. No accounts — just cats.
