Development
The game took several years to be fully developed. During this time it was given different temporary names such as "Rat", "Cats & Rats", before finally settling on 'Rat Attack'. While the game was still in development, early versions of the game were sent to news media resulting in early development screenshots, of levels not included in the game.
A series of six animated, flash videos was also produces, each telling the story of one of the 'Scratch Cats'. Then shortly before its release another early development version of the game was released as a Demo for the "Official UK PlayStation Magazine".

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.”
—H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
“Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
“Information about child development enhances parents’ capacity to respond appropriately to their children. Informed parents are better equipped to problem-solve, more confident of their decisions, and more likely to respond sensitively to their children’s developmental needs.”
