Price Factor in Hard Mode: $9/purchase
Spawn: at unit spawn location located below Mice Save beacon
Abilities: N/A
This unit serves as a mobile walling mechanism that provides a flexible, fast deploy.
One of the weaknesses is that it often needs 2 civilians to deploy a full wall at early game, which is costy and not so reliable compare to Hard Cheese (Stargate). Another weaknesses is that these walls are affected by Cat's Mouse Magnet spell, which moves them away from their designated position.
Stupid Jason (Protoss Reaver)
Fake Mouse: 75 Minerals - Creates a hallucinated Mouse that you can use to lure the Cat to buy Jail Guards or lure the Cat towards it on the map.

This second probe extends your manuverability by almost 5 times. Having a second probe brings alot more strategies than having a single probe. The second probe is treated as a regular probe, thus no difference when Cat kills the second probe, except you basically have an extra life.
Restore Base Minerals: 600 Minerals
Transfer Money: FREE (Transfers Money to your Allies)
Transfer Ownership: FREE (Transfers all of your units to a dead Ally)

Jump Mode: Prices rise everytime a unit is purchased. The player that is closest to first and has a Mouse is the person that gets to choose Normal Mode or
Jump Mode.

This beacon allows 2 Mice players other than the targetted player to ban other Mice players in game in case of bad-manner, noobish, annoying, or BS'er. If the targetted player has killed a probe before, no only the shield would be removed, and the ban only requires 1 Mice player other than the targetted player to activate.
Switch: Turn $100 TO DT (Can be $120)

This switch allows Cat to either save up to $100 (or $120) and convert the $100 (or $120) into a Chooser (DT). This switch also allows Cat to save more than $100 (or $120) and use the money strategically.
**There are secrets in this version as well as the original. There is a different way to get heroes, and other units. Try killing the Brown air units with people that helped with the maps' name on it and see what you get. The Cat can get units such as another Cat, a Hyper Zergling (Zerg Zergling), a Nuke Specialist (2+1) (Terran Ghost), 75 Minerals, 150 Minerals, Spiker (3) (Zerg Lurker), Cat Builder (Drone), or even get BB Mode (3). A Mouse can get a Cat Builder (Drone), another Mouse, a Stupid Fred, 200 Minerals, BB Mode (3), a Cat Queen, a Rigged Ball (14), and a Cat Vessel. There's even a secret for Mice to mind control the air units without the Rigged Ball, but figure it out for yourself! There many more to come including personal heroes for the testers... Figure them out!
