"Get all your mice to their cheese without being ejected by the cat!"

When the cat naps, the mice play, but at any moment the cat may wake up and swipe a mouse off the board. The first player to get all four of his mice onto his cheese wins the game.

This is a cat-and-mouse themed Pachisi variation for children with shortened track and electronic cat that randomly "wakes up", spins around then swings his paw at a space on the track, knocking off any mouse on that spot (sending them back to start). Two outer loops are available that are safe from the cat but add several spaces to the trip.
