You're a 16th century German prince plotting to crush a peasant rebellion, or perhaps you're leading an army against the Ottoman Empire or looking to settle the score with a rival nobleman. What's a guy looking for a tactical edge to do?

Bring on the rocket cats!

[HammerT]

Males sense… it’s an updated version of the Cat-a-pult.

Hey, somebody had to say it.. Okay, maybe not..

[HammerT]

Makes sense..

[Bigg Red]

Aw, you’re just kitten us, right?
