Alley Cat is a 1984 computer game for the PC and Atari 800 created by Bill Williams of SynSoft, in which the player controls a stray alley cat whose object is to perform certain tasks within the homes of strangers.

The cat starts off with three lives in normal mode, and a life is deducted if one of the enemies (like the spider, an electric eel, etc.) is touched, or if the cat is hit by one of the objects that fall out of the windows in the alley.
