Kitty's Helpful Hints

Resizable Window

Click and drag on the lower-right corner of Kitty's window to seamlessly resize it. Just the thing for games like Montana!


Click on the purdy picture. You know you want to.

Kitty can also be shrunk to postage-stamp proportions! Quite useful if you're slacking off at work and don't want to attract the attention of the office snitch. To revert to the default window size and position, just click on the green Resize button at the window's top-left.

Taking a Break

So that you can play while pretending to work, Kitty will continue to run even if her window is in the background.

But the game timer will continue to tick away, which may not be ideal if you're taking a break from the game. Or maybe you need Kitty to give up some processing power to a Photoshop task, without having to quit out of your game.

Solution: select Hide Solitaire from the menu, or press the yellow Minimize button at the top-left of the window. Kitty will take a cat-nap: the game timer will be paused and she'll refrain from using your computer's processing power.


Press for Warm Fuzzies

Turn your volume up high, then press the "p" key during a game. Go on, go do it now.

But maybe don't do this in a crowded office. Oh wait, you already did...

Kitty 3.1.1 - Bugfix Edition

Oops! Kitty 3.1 made her way in to the world with a few bugs, resulting in a lack of furry love for some players.

But, she's all better now. Grab version 3.1.1 here.

Changes:
  • Fixed a startup bug that caused a "Scripting Error" to appear.
  • Dragging a card to the top-left corner of the window will no longer cause Bad Things to happen.
