"I haven't played a match three in ages as I'd become a little over dosed on them over the last several years; however, I throughly enjoyed playing Claws and Feathers 3. The addition of puzzle challenges gave the game something extra that kept me glued to the game much longer than I normally spend on an arcade game. I highly recommend you check this game out. Personally I'd score this game a 9 out of 10 for it's refreshing game play."

Looks to be a nicely done program. I'm looking forward to playing more :-)

I just want to say that I have this game and it's an absolute hoot! The characters and dialogue are quite funny. The graphics are sharp and it's lots of fun to play. It does get quite challenging the further in you get. The game is original and a nice change from the more common HOGs, which I enjoy greatly, M3s, TMs. etc. Grab it while you can!

Thanks all!

I don't think this would be a good game for me: I'd be rooting for the cats!

I have one of these from before. I found it too difficult to finish. Not a fan of games that are overly difficult to finish.
That said, people with a gift for this kind of game will find it charming and fun to play. The graphics are great.

I have all 3. One of them was a GOTD.

The following review is from user pennmom36 on BFG:

"Claws & Feathers requires strategy: a lot of strategy. When Zombie Birds take over the world, our feathered friends decide to board a spaceship, destination, any planet that doesn't have Zombies! The problem is, those furry, cunning little cats have snuck onboard, and they're more annoying than ever!

The goal is to remove birds and cats that are blocking the path to various objects; such as Digital Keys to open the Cryo Cages, or Energy Capsules that go into the Reactors. To make matches, you need to drag a bird to the desired cell, to make a group of three or more identical coloured birds. If you fail to make a Match on any given move, all eggs on the board will hatch into the same coloured bird as the egg. Sometimes this is necessary, if you don't have enough birds to make more matches. If you place a bird on an egg, that egg won't hatch, but you can set up your next move to include the egg, so that when it hatches, there will be a match and they will be removed. To remove a cat, which sometimes has an item you need hidden under them, you need to place an identical coloured bird on either side of him, and he will drop the item when those two birds carry him off.

Clearing a path can be complicated, especially when eggs start hatching all over the place. There are usually two requirements to achieve Gold status. The first goal is to find either Capsules to place into Reactors, or Colour Coded Digital Keys to unlock Cryo Cages that will free the chicks (you will need to clear a path in order for one item to reach the other). Some birds have Chains on them which require you to make one match to break the chain, and then another to remove them.

You will win the level if those goals are met, but to earn Gold status, you must complete the secondary goal which varies. The secondary goal may be to remove a certain percentage of birds, allow no more that 4 birds to fly away (don't make a match of 4 red birds or more and only once during the entire level), complete the level within a specific amount of moves, or free all chained birds. A Gold Coin will appear at the bottom of the board, with an alert tone, once you have met the secondary goal requirements."
