A friend (I think)has given me this game so instead of the others I am playing it. Sure enough I am stuck, even resorting to Waklthru but to no avail. Is seems that reading other boards I am not the only one to have the problem. It is the CAT! I have spoen at length with the Captain and the fisherman has mentioned the cat but it is nowhere to be seen, I am just standing there waiting. Any ideas please?
Thanks again

It's been a while since I played this game, but if memory serves me correctly......I believe I walked away from the ship for a while, snooped around the docks and then went back to where the crates and things are. The cat will stroll by. You need to position yourself in just the right spot (again, if memory serves me correctly...according to the walkthrough I used I had to move farther to the left of the crate mentioned in order to get the cat).

Perhaps someone else may be better able to help you. Don't dispair.

I had a hard time with that part too, make sure the cat is there when you are talking to the fisherman, and you should see it when you walk back to the crates, but then he will go around them once ( if I remeber correctly ) and walk past again on the left where you enter between the crates, I beleive I clicked on him then and finally got it. I dont know how many times I had to try before I could get it but it was ALOT!
Good Luck!
