Freddy the Cat is king of the alley -- and you're in control as he jumps over trash cans and fences to hitch a ride on a loaded clothesline. But watch out! Bowser Von Spike has his eye on you, and the darned mice are always causing trouble.
Jump through an open window and you're into an entirely new scenario in each of the seven different rooms. You'll be chasing mice, fish and canaries, avoiding Cupid's arrows, and meeting all your girlfriend's brothers in the funniest feline follies ever.
Incredible cartoon graphis and an original music score males ALLEY CAT the cat's meow.

The game gets harder every time you play the girlfriend level, and is effectively endless.
Played on Dosbox with the CPU cycles set to 242. The game has it's own frame limiter and is generally works just fine set to auto.
To get the Tandy color/sound you need a fan-made patch that can be found by searching for it. There is a slightly better faster Atari version out there.
Controls: Arrow keys, right-alt button does actions (like drinking milk or going through the holes in the cheese)
The broom is known as "The Mad Housekeeping Broom"
The mice names are "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, and Moe" in the Pantry.
The Library (not seen in this play) belongs to "Nick Cromancer" and the goal is to knock over the rare "Ceygolian Dandy-Lions" and is a reference to another game from Synapse called "Necromancer"
Unfortunately most "fan remakes" of this game do not work.
Differences from the Atari Version:
Different colors
There are two spiders in the Atari version, only one in the PC
There is a milk container that refills the bowls in the Atari version
Overall the Atari version is harder just by virtue of the extra elements.
If you fail the girlfriend level in the Atari version it doesn't appear to get harder.
