This project was selected to demonstrate the interactive potential of Scratch coding, encouraging users to engage in playful exploration while learning fundamental programming concepts through the context of a familiar and entertaining scenario.

One challenge was coordinating the cat's movements and reactions with user inputs, requiring careful scripting and event handling to ensure responsiveness and fluid gameplay. I addressed this by breaking down the behaviors into manageable steps, testing iteratively, and refining the code.

With more time, I'd expand the project by adding additional features such as customizable cat appearances, diverse environmental interactions, and perhaps even multiplayer functionality to enhance engagement and replay value. Additionally, I'd refine the code structure for better organization.
