You might think it's too good, but it doesn't actually join the game until the most inconvenient time.

Also pushes off pieces for both players. Doesn’t care who wins.

Despite risks the enemy pawns will run at it(moving 2 squares per turn) in order to attempt to pet it.

Beware the exposed belly. It's a dangerous Gambit.

I lost many pints of blood that way when I was younger

It needs "nap time" after each move it naps for at least 10 moves

I kinda like this idea. Have it start somewhere random and every turn roll a die to have it move in a direction, capturing any piece it lands on

is friendly fire on? or itvos a songle neutral piece?

the cat has no allegance. It's basically a stage hazard

You do not control the cat.
