Encircle the Cat

In Australia we are approaching the end of the financial year. So that means a lot of work for Accountants ... schedules, reconciliations, budgets, tax returns and lots of boring procedure. I have not been posting lately for this reason. That does not particularly bother me. What is annoying is that I have not been able to read and comment on my alluring blog friends' sites. But I will be back. :)

A friend emailed this game to me. It is very addictive, even when one ought to be concentrating on more urgent issues.

Try to encircle the cat without letting it get out!

Start by clicking on the image of the cat - then on the light green dots to try to trap it with dark green dots. This game is not easy, it is a very smart cat!

Enjoy!

Damn, now you have me playing it! At least it is less dangerous that pilling the cat or de-fleaing the cat!

Claudia said...

Finally gave up...Waiting for my brilliant son, and some clever friends, to see if they'll succeed! It's fun, Ardent. Thank you!

ertan said...

its impossible to win. the cat has way toooo greater odds on winning. your netter off popping bubble wrap. :)

Ardent said...

Jams, it sure is.

Claudia, don't give up so fast.:)

Ertan, I worked it out. It is actually quite easy. You need to start with the far outer circles. :)

Claudia said...

Ardent - Proud to say I got the poor little cat twice this morning. Right at the center. Then I felt sorry for him. :):)

Meeowwws on Sunday afternoon...

How can we get the cat?
Hans has the solution!
Come on, you, little brat.
We're all in position:
green dot there, green dot here,
(time for a Dutch beer)
circle bigger,
circle smaller,
Little cat runs in vain...
Big Human has the brain!

All the best to all.:) :) :)

Claudia said...

Hans - Must have been hard! You loved that dog.:)

Ardent said...

Hans and Claudia, I knew you would master the game. It is easy when you know the plan.

Hans, I am sorry that you gave away your dog. It would of been a heart breaking decision. I don't think dogs are meant to live in apartments, they need space to run. I hope your dog adapts well into his new home.:)

ertan said...

done it.. the placement of darker dots makes a huge difference.

jedilost said...

First i thought it was impossible, but following the hint about outer circle, i did it :) it is all about the placement of the green dots actually.

Internation Musing said...

I come every day back to play..))!

Oh, dear, I'll be trying that all night!

Martin Gamble said...

Hello!
I'm Claudia's son. I managed to get the cat twelve times so far. But it was really difficult. I tried so many times to catch it. It requires a considerable amount of strategic thinking to trap that clever feline. Thanks for the game.

Ardent said...

Ertan, I knew you could do it.:)

Jedilost, I am glad it was entertainment for you. My sincere regards to Superhero. :)

Hans, you are welcome back any time.:)

Welshcakes, it is addictive. One cannot allow the cat to succeed over a human brain. :)

Martin, welcome to my blogsite. Your mother mentions you a lot so it is lovely to have contact with the family. Claudia is a very smart lady.:)
I am glad that you enjoyed the game.:)
