A long time ago, John E. "Smack Daddy" Bryant had a vision. He decided to create a computer program in which people could outwardly express their anger toward cats without actually getting in any trouble with animal rights activists.

Little did Mr. Bryant know that what started as a simple computer program would become such a cult icon. Yes, some see Catsmack as a game, but I see it as so much more. Catsmack is a legacy.

Thank you, John E. Bryant!

So, everyone else, download this prodigious game of strategy and skill. And download it with pride!

This ZIP file includes two files: catsmack.exe (the game) and bwcc.dll (necessary to run the game).

Right when we thought we had the story behind John E. Bryant figured out, something like this had to turn up.

Note: Recently, many people have tried to discredit John E. Bryant by creating cheap imitations of the game to end all games. Please be careful to avoid these and others:

In order to fully express my deep and sincere feelings about Catsmack, I decided to write a haiku:

If you have experienced Catsmack and feel the way I do about it, you may wish to demonstrate these feelings on your own homepage using this neat-o banner:

To date,  cats have been smacked.

Catsmack, Catsmacker, and anything else referring to the program they are referring to are the rights of John. E Bryant. He in no way endorses the Digital Steakhouse or anything included therein. The downloadable file is the shareware version of the program. All who download it are strongly encouraged to purchase the full version directly from John E. Bryant, as all other places to buy it are quite likely not licensed. In fact, I plan to buy it as soon as I can raise five dollars. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in no way helped with the creation of this Web site, but they're a bunch of neat people.
