* GuideDangIt: For most objects that can be interacted with "S" the action is displayed over the "S" icon. For example, "Take" or "Open". But there are two places, where Molly needs to press "S" while jumping, [[spoiler:the stove and the centrifugal dryer]], and nothing is displayed there.

''Cat Pöke'' is a freeware puzzle platformer developed by Squiddershins for The Independent Gaming Source's 2010 A Game By Its Cover competition. You play as Molly, a child who's stuck inside the house because of rain. She is so bored that she decides to poke all nine of her family cats [[HilarityEnsues in the butt]], starting with nearby Bustopher Jones. Well, [[ExcusePlot it's better than sitting around the house all day doing nothing]], right?
