sleep will make SALEM fat and lazy. make sure SALEM gets enough 

exercise.
HEALTH 

 , HAPPINESS 

 , HUNGER 

 , and DISCIPLINE 

range from 0 (bad) to 100 (good) and help you determine what SALEM needs. 

if any of these falls below 20, you should take care of SALEM right away.

the final statistic, SCORE, is an indication of how well you are doing. the 

higher your score, the better you are doing. your SCORE is an average of 

HEALTH, HAPPINESS, HUNGER, and DISCIPLINE.

TRAINING

SALEM can do all sorts of interesting things. 

training SALEM to perform tricks on command 

is very entertaining! select the TRAIN    and 

press ENTER. the word REWARD will appear. 

but don't reward him yet! first, press LEFT or 

RIGHT until the word TRICK appears. now 

press ENTER again.

a list of tricks will appear. you can press LEFT 

or RIGHT to search through all the tricks 

SALEM can learn. when you see the trick you want to teach SALEM, press 

ENTER. SALEM will try his best to do the trick you asked for.

if SALEM does not get the trick right, try again! if SALEM does the trick 

correctly, press ENTER again. the word REWARD should appear. press 

ENTER again to reward SALEM with a treat. now SALEM knows this 

trick. congratulations!

if you want SALEM to perform his trick at your command, select the 

TRAINING    again. now press either the LEFT or RIGHT key until 

the word TRICK appears. press ENTER. now press LEFT/RIGHT until 

the trick you want appears on the screen, and press ENTER.

DISCIPLINE

select this activity to discipline SALEM.   he does 

not like to be disciplined, so you should only discipline 

SALEM if his DISCIPLINE falls below 20. 

don't select this activity too often, or SALEM 

will become unhappy and unhealthy!

ALERT

when this icon lights up, it means SALEM needs
something. use the SCORE   activity to try to 

figure out what SALEM needs: food? sleep? play 

time? discipline?

MEETING SALEM'S NEEDS

if you try to select an activity that SALEM does 

not want to do, he may refuse. try selecting a 

different activity until you figure out what SALEM 

needs.

SALEM also has very cool "downtime" activities 

that he does on his own when he thinks you aren't 

looking.  these downtime activities include:

WALKING:  he likes to walk back and forth.  

STALKING:  he likes to stalk some unseen prey.  

JUMPING:  he likes to jump on things.

DRIVE:  he is a very intelligent cat and likes to drive around in a toy car! 

SABRINA thinks this is pretty awesome and you will, too!

TALK: SALEM  will "talk" (key tone sounds) from time to time. he actually 

uses the telephone when he talks. 

GAME OVER

the game is over when SALEM waves goodbye.  the 

"game over" can result  from bad health or old age. 

if SALEM develops bad health and decides to leave, 

you can restart the game and try again, taking care 

to pay better attention to his needs.  when a game 

ends with SALEM'S bad health, this is a "bad" ending, 

then you just see him waving goodbye to you as a 

cat.  however, if you take very good care of SALEM, 

you'll see a much different ending. if you can take 

care of SALEM for more than 14 days, his curse 

will be lifted, and he will turn back into a man again! in fact, if you take 

REALLY good care of SALEM, he may just decide he likes it better as your 

cat! if you can keep SALEM'S health above 95 points, he will stay with you 

even longer!

no matter how the game ends, you can press LEFT (OR RIGHT) to see 

your final SCORE, and press MODE again to see the final animation.
