Day of the Tentacle Hints
How can I get the squeaky mouse toy from the cat?
1 of 7: The cat is attracted to many squeaky items.
2 of 7: Take, for example, the mattresses on the beds up here.
3 of 7: The mattress closer to the cat squeaks. Use the bed, and you'll find this out.
4 of 7: The cat will move close to the bed whenever you sit on it, but he moves back far too quickly.
5 of 7: It would be nice if the bed were farther away.
6 of 7: Or at least if the mattress were farther.
7 of 7: Use the squeaky mattress on the non-squeaky one and you can then sit on the far mattress to attract the cat. You'll have time to get the toy now.
