FYI: It's actually a pig, not a cat. Gretz99's technique is accurate, although the game does the exact opposite (I didn't know pigs liked bananas). It's pretty hard to figure it out from the top (you could if you had enough time though), but going backwards from the bottom, you just have to be quick enough mentally to trace the route in reverse. If you don't make a move quick enough, it goes on its own. I like the game too, but don't know how common they are. Can't say I've seen one recently (I don't think Funspot even has one, unless its in storage). I also had it for the Atari 2600.
