Catizen: Merge Cats in Telegram

A couple of minutes in a queue, phone in hand, and a small pack of cats is already growing on screen. Catizen is a Telegram mini game from Pluto Studio built around merging pets.

It runs on the TON blockchain and became one of the most visible names in GameFi, with about 150 thousand users on the bot.

Two same cats make a better one

The core is simple. The board is a set of slots that cats fill over time. When two cats of the same level meet, they merge into a higher-level cat that produces more in-game currency.

The main currency is called vKITTY. You spend it on new cats in the feed menu. A premium currency, FishCoins, pays for the fishing mini game, the rarest cat and boosts.

Quests, invites and clubs

Besides merging, there is a tasks tab with daily check-ins and social quests. The invite tab gives points for friends.

Bot commands: /quest for tasks, /invite for invitations, /joinclub and /createclub for clubs, /help and /privacy for information, and /paysupport for payment questions.

What happened with the CATI token

The game was built around the idea of play now, receive an airdrop later. The CATI token launched in September 2024, and players received it by connecting a TON wallet and converting what they had gathered.

According to reviewers, many players were disappointed by reward sizes, and interest in the game faded after the token launch. That is a useful lesson for any similar game.

Playing without losing out

• Count your time. Merge and tap games are sticky, and an hour a day adds up fast.
• Do not invest money expecting profit. A game token can trade far below expectations.
• Use your own wallet. Connect a wallet you use deliberately and never share the seed phrase.
• Check links. Popular games attract fake invitations and clones.

First steps

1. Open the bot and press Start.
2. Go through the short in-game tutorial.
3. Merge cats and spend vKITTY on new ones.
4. Collect a daily reward in the tasks tab.

Check the official channels for current events and rules, as they change.

Who the pastime suits

If you like cozy merge games, Catizen can fill a few minutes a day. If you came for income, adjust expectations: rewards in a game like this are not guaranteed, and a token is a risky asset.
