Development notes indicate a crossbow was originally considered as the launching mechanism, but the cats being, well, cats were fascinated by bits of string, namely the draw string on the crossbow. This meant that reloading would take around 45 minutes due to the cats trying to bat or eat the string. As it was around Xmas time, they did discover that a conveniently placed Xmas tree was enough to distract them, but it tended to make transportation problematic and any users visible by the enemy due to having to lug a medium sized evergreen (preferably a picea omorika), several boxes of tinsel, lights and baubles, a portable generator and some gold, Frankincense and Myhrr.
So this is a missile launcher that fires cats? Sounds like it would be a good complement to the Catman and Meowsider (Fatman and Broadsider that launches cats as well).
