This is the real game, not a remake. The original 1983 CAT.EXE by Bill Williams — the exact 55 KB binary from the archive.org release — executes here in a WebAssembly DOSBox (js-dos), throttled to honest 4.77 MHz 8088 speed with the PC speaker on. Nothing on this page is reimplemented: every pixel and beep comes from Bill Williams' own machine code. Click the screen, press any key at the title, answer N to the joystick question, pick a skill level (Kitten … Alley Cat) and press any key. In game: cursor keys move, Alt special action, Esc "paws" mode, Ctrl-S sound.
