# Bad Cats

The Bad Cats pinball machine, released by Williams Electronics in 1989, offers a unique feline-themed experience designed by Barry Oursler with art by Python Anghelo. The game stands out for its quirky animations, including a backglass scene where a woman hits a cat with a broom. Gameplay involves spelling out "BAD CATS" to accumulate points and features elements such as a spinning seafood wheel, various ramps, and drop targets. Notably, Bad Cats does not include a multiball feature, which was unusual for its time.
