Ummm, crypto1337, you say the cat changes direction randomly? Your cat probably just skimmed a wall or something. The lag would be how sucky your computer is, because I have no problems. And the powerups are actually pretty good, you just don't know how to use them.
poor cat, got squeezed so much he became a sticky substance that suck and circled a wall, then suck to the platform that squeezed him, he will never fufill his fat dreams
I think the player as a cat suggests how you could either be a wild cat, or a domestic cat. Wild being where you do what you want, and domestic always following orders and taking protection. But there is another choice. You could be the cat that takes shelter in a home, but does almost whatever it wants.
