    There is so much to do here that makes it worth rewatching/replaying just to see a different animation for how the sequence plays out. I look forward to more episodes of this format.

    The Tex Avery-style sight gags on Cat Burglar can get tiring because they’re doled out at hyper speed. But Rowdy’s deaths, and even the vignettes where he succeeds, make up for that.

    Cat Burglar is a fun corrective that nudges you to think about how passively you consume – while also trying to frantically remember the names of the kids in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

    The chief pleasures of Cat Burglar aren’t really the interactive ones at all. Rather, the joy comes from the brilliantly observed homages to cartoons of the golden era before health and safety became a thing and cartoon violence was of exquisite imagination.
