Cats & Soup is a cozy idle-management game in which illustrated cats cook, fish, decorate and collect resources in a forest. HIDEA developed the game and NEOWIZ publishes the current mobile release. This Philippine guide links only to NEOWIZ, the official game site, Google Play and Apple’s App Store. WP Phone does not host an APK, modified save, ad bypass or currency seller.
Version 5.1.2 and fifth-anniversary content
Apple Philippines and Google Play Philippines listed version 5.1.2. Apple recorded the release on 17 September 2026 UTC, while Google Play showed 16 September. The official notes list fifth-anniversary Star Tree Festival gifts, a limited Rainbow Shorthair baby kitty, forest-size and forest-accent controls, Box Sorter and Whac-A-Mole activities, limited packages, a pop-up store and bug fixes.
Event rewards and shop offers are time-limited. Confirm their current end time in the official app instead of relying on an older screenshot. Platform delivery times can differ, so use the build offered to the signed-in phone rather than installing a file from chat.
Requirements, size and Philippines availability
Apple Philippines requires iOS or iPadOS 15.0 or later and displayed a 1.91 GB package. The Google Play Philippines page offered installation but did not state a public minimum Android version during this review; its compatibility result for the signed-in device is the safer authority.
The store package is not the final footprint. Event assets, ads, save data, cache and update working files need extra internal storage. Both official Philippine routes were live on 23 September, and the App Store displayed optional purchases in Philippine pesos.
Install the verified NEOWIZ release
- Open Google Play or the Philippine App Store from this page.
- Confirm NEOWIZ or NEOWIZ Corporation as the provider.
- On Android, verify package com.hidea.cat.
- Review the current advertising, random-item, privacy and purchase disclosures.
- Keep Play Protect and Apple’s normal installation safeguards enabled.
A modified client promising free gems, unlimited tickets or ad removal is not an official update. Do not install an unknown certificate, grant remote-control access or disable device protection to obtain event items.
Understand the offline label
Google Play categorizes the title as offline, but that does not mean every function works without data. Installation, updates, advertising, event delivery, store checkout, support and cloud-related operations can still require a connection. Test a normal session in airplane mode before depending on the game during travel, and reconnect on a trusted network before making purchases or changing devices.
The Philippines cozy-game checklist explains how to measure the initial download separately from ordinary play and how to interpret an offline store label without overpromising.
Protect progress and purchases
Before reinstalling, clearing app data or moving phones, open the in-game settings and confirm that the current save is linked through the options offered by the live version. Record the non-secret user ID and keep store receipts. Do not assume that an Apple or Google purchase record alone restores every item or local state.
Before buying a limited package, confirm the active save, item contents and final Philippine-peso amount in the official billing sheet. A legitimate support request may need the user ID, version, device model and a redacted receipt; it does not need a store password, email code, wallet PIN or full payment-card image.
