The player guides Mappy the police mouse through the mansion of the Mewkies (kittens) to retrieve stolen goods. The mansion has six floors of long hallways in which the items are stashed. Mappy and the Mewkies can move between the floors by jumping on trampolines at the ends and middle of the hallways, and landing on a floor on the way up (but not on the way down). In addition to the Mewkies, there is also Nyamco (the boss cat) on the level. If Mappy tarries too long, the fearsome ancestral cat coin shows up. A level is completed when all the loot is retrieved.
