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:
“Creativity seems to emerge from multiple experiences, coupled with a well-supported development of personal resources, including a sense of freedom to venture beyond the known.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (20th century)
“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
