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 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.
