Don't Wake the Kitty is a fan-made Roblox game where you sneak around a stage collecting sleeping kittens, then run for your life when they wake up and start chasing you. Your score depends on how many kittens you grabbed and how long you stayed alive afterward. This guide covers how each phase of a run works, how to collect safely, and how to survive the chase.
In shortEvery run follows the same two-phase loop: collect while the kittens sleep, then escape once they wake.
A run splits into two clear phases. During the first phase, kittens are asleep and you move around stealing them. Once you rouse them — or the collection phase ends — the kittens wake up and chase you. From that point your only goal is to stay alive as long as possible. Your final score is a combination of how many kittens you collected and how long you survived the chase.
Collection phase kittens are asleep and can be grabbed
Chase phase woken kittens pursue you until you are caught
Score determined by kittens collected plus survival time
In shortPausing to look around before you move is the single most useful habit you can build.
The moments right after spawning are the most important planning time you get. Stand still, scan the whole stage, then commit to a path before you take a step.

Move slowlysudden or fast movements wake kittens up early
In shortSlow, deliberate movement during the collection phase is what keeps the chase phase short and manageable.
Getting greedy is the most common mistake players make.
Tips worth knowing
Approach each kitten gradually rather than walking straight in at full speed
Do not try to collect every kitten in one pass — take what you can safely reach
Look behind you regularly so a chasing kitten does not catch you off guard

Tips
In shortRepeating the same stage teaches you the kitten layouts and chase patterns, which is the main way scores improve.
Tips worth knowing
Play the same stage multiple times to memorize kitten positions and movement patterns
Surviving the chase contributes to your score, so staying alive matters even after collection ends

Common mistakes to cut out
Warn
In shortGreed and panic are responsible for most early endings — staying calm matters more than moving fast.
Most failed runs come down to two things: trying to collect too many kittens too quickly, and then panicking when the chase starts.
Worth watching out for
Chasing a high kitten count causes players to rush, wake multiple kittens at once, and get caught immediately
Expecting to collect everything on your first run leads to frustrationthe stage rewards repeat play

Common questions
FAQ
What happens when a kitten catches me?
The run ends immediately. Your score is locked in at that moment based on how many kittens you had collected and how long you lasted during the chase.
Can I finish a run without collecting any kittens?
Yes, you can skip collecting entirely and just try to survive. Your score will be low because collected kittens make up part of it, but surviving the chase still counts.
Why can't I collect all the kittens on my first try?
That is completely normal. Learning the stage layout and the kittens' positions takes several runs. Each attempt teaches you more about the stage, and your collection count will climb as you get familiar with it.
Does the game cost anything to play?
There are no paid elements in the game. Every player competes under the same free conditions.
