[...] little game Don’t Let the Cat Out | Zoomdoggle: More fun than work! that cat is like marmite, you either love it or hate it, personally i love the furry lil kitty [...]
We played a game like this on paper for my one math class in college. Except we then had to explain why against a smart player the “cat” will always lose.
Place you first dot in the most likely place the cat might go, or in one of the shortest routes available, but spaced exactly one dot away from another already filled dot.
After the cat starts moving, begin placing dots in his way. again, exactly one dot away from the furthest dot. once the cat gets to a hole, fill the hole.
Hopefully by the time the cat threatens, you have only one possible circle of escape in the particular direction, which you quickly fill, and then the next best spot, and so on.

I beat the crap out of this cat. Took 4 tries though. Just like a pizza, it’s all about the crust.

Got it first try. Beginner’s luck, maybe?
May 8th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
7 tries but the solution seemed oh so obvious when I figured it out.

May 10th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
I would really appreciate some sort of congratulatory ending. It’s just a bit anti-climatic.

all the people saying that you beat it in one try… youre either liars or go masters. took me about 2-3 minutes.
May 11th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Twice inna row. First and second try. Going to leave now and never play this game again.
May 11th, 2009 at 11:12 am

May 11th, 2009 at 11:27 am

May 11th, 2009 at 2:35 pm

May 11th, 2009 at 5:33 pm

May 11th, 2009 at 5:56 pm

May 11th, 2009 at 8:54 pm
..you just make a ring around the cat..this is so fucking easy. How do you even manage to fail it?

Possible Spoiler Alert:
Calculate your placement carefully:
Place you first dot in the most likely place the cat might go, or in one of the shortest routes available, but spaced exactly one dot away from another already filled dot.
After the cat starts moving, begin placing dots in his way. again, exactly one dot away from the furthest dot. once the cat gets to a hole, fill the hole.
Hopefully by the time the cat threatens, you have only one possible circle of escape in the particular direction, which you quickly fill, and then the next best spot, and so on.

You have to trap the cat from a distance, if you get to close it can walk around your dots. got it on the 6th try btw
May 12th, 2009 at 1:30 am
i just beat this on my first try… in about 20 moves. its not that hard of a game
May 12th, 2009 at 7:01 am
its kinda rigged, sometimes it’ll start you off with only 4 dots and then sometimes it’ll give you 9 which obviously makes it easier
May 12th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
Detective Mittens… on the case.
May 16th, 2009 at 3:59 am
