It was odd, and wasn't necessarily fun, though I'll admit, I'd never seen anything like it before.

If i hadn't read the comments here i would have given up as i killed about 10 of the light colored cats for 0% progress, once you know to basicly ignore everything else and just find the black cat it's really easy though.
