Found this one at a Goodwill! This came out right at the start of the multimedia boom of the mid 90s, when software developers began to take advantage of the new optical drives that were allowing for, well, multimedia: audio, video, text, and interactive graphics. Some were shlocky attempts at making money, and some were like this one, designed with the purpose to educate, and nothing more.
"Multimedia Cats" is a resource for people interested in looking for a cat to take in as a pet, or as a way to learn about the animal, and their various breeds, relatives, and ancestors. It's extremely comprehensive, full of text and charts giving you deep details about things such as a breed's temperament level, how good they are with children, grooming difficulty, and more. It includes pictures of the breed, as well as videos showing the cats in action.
Not only can you learn about domestics, you can also learn about their wild relatives and ancestors, with the same amount of information and media, which is not only great for the curious adult, but great for kids as well. There's even a few quiz games to test your knowledge, and some easter eggs involving a silly little mouse fella.
It has been almost 30 years, so I'm sure at this point some of the information may be outdated, but at the time, this may have been a great resource for cat owners, or those interested in getting a cat. I believe they even had one of these for dogs as well! "Multimedia Cats" is a wholesome piece of software, that does the very thing it has set out to do: inform the buyer about cats, utilizing multimedia as a tool to enrich the minds of the user. It's practical, professional, and all sorts of wholesome.
