This game’s a bit tough to win. There are no hints whatsoever. When the cat’s ready, perhaps the only hint of a warning is that she gags several times, the sounds coming from deep within her belly, and then she pukes up a hairball that looks like number two. The only sign that it isn’t (so I know not to pound her) is the fibrous look of the tubal hash. She might not be sharp, but her out-of-the-box droppings are…
I’m not the sort of person into video games, and what few games I’ve gotten into were so tame, most gamers from toddlers to boomers would fall asleep watching me play.
