STEP 2: Cat and mouse.
Watch out for the pursuing cats!  Open and close maze doors to block
their paths.  Become an expert at pressing the A and B Buttons for just the
right amount of time to foil their chase. The cats are too clever to remained
trapped inside for too long. If you wait long enough, the cats will break
out, so watch yourself!

STEP 3: Mouse holes to safety
There are 5 mouse holes that you can climb into to get away from the cats.
Be careful, you come out of a random hole, so you could be getting yourself
in more trouble than you know!

STEP 4: Dog gone it!
Are the cats ganging up on you?  Get your revenge!  Your mouse can
become a cat-biting dog if it has eaten a bone.  Check the Bones
Remaining Indicator. (Notice that the mouse has already eaten one bone
at game start.)  If you have a bone, press the Red Button for just the
right short period to turn your mouse into a cat-biting dog for a few
happy moments.  Remember, each time you change your mouse into a dog, 
you use up one bone.  So eat more bones and save them up for emergencies.
But be careful. There are only 13 bones per game.

The game ends when all your mice have been eliminated.
