Where Meow-Jong fits

Disclosure: we make Meow-Jong, so read this paragraph as the publisher talking. Meow-Jong is a single-player mahjong solitaire game with 44 hand-drawn cat pictures on the tiles and an optional meow when you make a match. It costs $4.99 on Steam for Windows, macOS and Linux, and the iOS edition is free, with optional rewarded video ads and optional coin packs (in-app purchases) for unlocking boards. The itch.io version 3.2.2 includes 160 boards and the free browser demo includes one Classic Turtle board. Check the Steam and App Store listings for their current releases. There is no time limit: a clock and a score are shown and your time counts toward the score, but no countdown ends the game. Every board is dealt solvable. Meow-Jong carries the Cats tag and is in the cozy subset; by review count it ranks 506 of 1,253 cozy cat games, with 49 reviews (49 positive) on the data date.

Method

• Date and source. Fetched October 9, 2026 from Steam's public store search (store.steampowered.com/search/results, games only, US store, English), filtered to the Cats user tag (tag id 17894). Each game's review totals come from Steam's public review summary endpoint (all languages, all purchase types); developer names from the public appdetails endpoint.
• Tags. Steam tags are applied by players, not by Valve or the developer alone, so a game tagged Cats may only have a cat in it somewhere, and a cat game may lack the tag. We count the tag as Steam reports it and do not re-judge games.
• Cozy. A game is in the cozy subset if Steam's search also returns it for the Cozy (97376), Relaxing (1654) or Wholesome (552282) tag combined with Cats.
• Released. Games with a past release date on the data date. Upcoming and undated entries are in the CSV but excluded from the statistics.
• Price. US list price before any sale discount, as shown in search results on the data date. "Under $5" means free or a list price below $5.00. Prices change; the store is authoritative.
• Steam Deck. Valve's rating, from the store search filters for Verified and Playable. "Not rated" covers both unreviewed and Unsupported games.
• Reviews. All-time Steam user reviews. "Positive" is positive reviews divided by total. Steam's own score label (Very Positive and so on) uses Valve's thresholds and only appears from 10 reviews.
• Limits. Steam search can hide adult-only titles and items unavailable in the US, so the count is a lower bound. Rankings by review count favour older and bigger games. Requests were throttled to about one per second and cached; the fetch script is reproducible.
