    I can't remember the name for it, but there's a mathematical theory that says when given a choice between 3 it's always better to change your mind if given a chance. Sounds nuts but it's solid and has been well proved.
    Maybe this is a little managed and it doesn't apply though?

    I just don't see any logic in this. There's clearly one where a cat goes towards a duvet, but it still says, "bad luck" if you select the cat and the duvet set.

    Looks really random.

    Ive tried every combination with the cats and furniture and came up as a winner only once!! This was already won by someone from Bristol!

    Sorry! It was me who won the poang (the black one on the front page) :)

    I couldn't believe I won, it was about 7:30 last night. I tried again with a different chair and went through every single cat and none won, so I think there is an element of luck involved.
  • Are people changing cats when prompted or staying with the same one?

    I'm torn between being decisive...and getting to see extra cat vids!

  • if it freezes at the end chances are you have a correct combo but thats not the prize they are giving out today!
    If you go on the play for fun and stick with 1 piece of furniture and go through the cats it tells you when you have a winning combo and tells you to play to win but when you use the same combo on play to win it freezes at the end my combo ive been using is the high chair and "gravy" the cat - try it on play for fun and play to win and you will see what i mean lol!
    I have given in with it now, im loosing valuble comping time thanks to those kittens
