Artic have been out of the computer market for a while now but this new offering brings them back in style.

The setup is that you, a large cat, have returned home after a long day's scrabbling in dustbins only to find that all your kittens have strayed. You therefore set off to find them.

This is done by guiding your beefy cat-like figure through a maze which is made up of trees and buildings. In the maze are delicious cat delights such as Tweety "I tought I taw a puddy cat!" Pie and old fish bones.

These are collected to give extra strength. Also in the maze are dogs but on their own the dogs are no probem to your tough cat. It simply beats them up.

This costs stamina of course and too many of these scraps can cause the loss of a life (but you've got nine, actually). You are also able to fire what looks like balls of wool at the dogs and this disposes of them without the messy fight.

When a kitten is found you must take it back home and deposit it before searching for the next one. All this is done against the clock as 'bulldog Billy' is forming a pack of dogs and if you haven't got all the kittens home before he manages this - you've had it.

Graphics are reasonable, especially the info screens that are done in the Cats style. Sound is ok but not awe-inspiring. A good game - welcome back, Artic.
