It is a bad day for a poor cat and you are the one who can help it. Our cat has the bad luck of being black and is hunted by dogs, has to jump over trash cans, avoid alien abduction (UFOs sending green lights to catch it) and avoid rain from strange clouds. But the cat is not alone, you can help it by switching between special designed shields to protect it against all threats. be quick when you do it. Also you can tell it when to jump to avoid trash or to catch little birds. When you get 9 birds you get one additional lives. As expected , you start with 9 lives but be careful not to lose them easily. The goal is to run as far as you can - a classic runner game with funny graphics. Have fun!
