A nine screen 9 lives thriller, which is defined as Platform on WoS Infoseek, but is in reality a mish mash of perspectives sometimes on platforms and sometimes on terra firma.
You are a cat (su-purr-ise!) drawn in the pixel art style of Trashman, who must devour the birds, mice and cat food whilst avoiding witches, nutters, dogs, aliens and even some scenery (but you have to guess which bits).
Catwalk throws a huge v-sign to colour clash concerns and just gets on with it, plays some 3 blind mice and lets you pounce into action.
One screen, about screen 6 or 7 changes the play perspective at the halfway line, though the characters are portayed side on throughout so it is a good brain trick required to play through it.
The same screen also features Horace as a baddie and Willie in his Jet Set finery, although here he flickers badly.
Screens to pass include a graveyard, a factory and an everyday missile silo.
I enjoyed this game right through to screen 9 where is pooped on itself by offering a seemingly endless regenerating bird to catch.
I resored to the RZX archive to see what I was missing but there, the venerated Albert Valls ended his rzx still chasing that flipping bird and so did I.

You're a cat. You can jump. You can walk. There are screens in which you have to catch your quarries while you're on the ground [for example, in the graveyard],
and others in which it's required to leap on platforms [for example, in the building site]. These are not flip screens, they're like levels.
Sketchy sprites, but it's playable.
3/5

I do like this game, it is simple to get into and understand but there are inconsistencies with the cat's jumping that prevents this game from getting a higher score. Plus the graphics aren't great but it's 1984 so what did you expect? But the gameplay works bar the jumping and has some variety to it, like level two has you jumping on a raising platform to reach the higher parts and level 4 is like Manic Miner. It's good for a quick go really, not all bad.
