Bad Cats
Williams, 1989Hi, I'm new here...
Anyway, I was recently able to convince the wife to get Bad Cats... I'm a pinball guy and she is a cat lady (not that I don't love cats, too). Not paying TOO much but unfortunately the Fish Bone-Us target is currently not working. Cab has some fading and is pretty much yellow instead of orange but I am super pumped. Hopefully I can fix the target with a cleaning and maybe some simple maintenance.
Welcome, I've been looking at that machine for my son, who LOVES cats. I had the chance to play one @ RustyLizards in WI and thought it was a pretty neat game! Nice find!
Check the mechanics of the target, sorry for such a vague suggestion, I'm not terribly familiar with the design of the mechs on this game.
GL!
Congratulations! Bad Cats is not a bad game at all. It's a very strange theme for a pinball machine, but somehow it works. 
Congrats. Got to play that for the 1st time last week at Pinball Wizard. Pretty fun game, agree w/ pose though.....kind of an odd theme. 
meow meow meow, you should get the cool cat MOD, you get double sided tape and stick your real cat to the playfield it will bat your balls around more then any other toy
I'm glad you've found this site! I enjoy Bad Cats! Its not the most common game. But it has some fun aspects to it. That target shouldn't be too hard to get fixed. With all of the talented pinball repair people around here, one of us can step you through it.
The bad news... More then likely, this pin will be number one of lots to come!
Trust me on this! I once thought ONE WAS ALL I'D EVER NEED.

Had a hell of a trip picking it up. Car battery died right after the purchase in a mall parking lot. Noticed a Sears in the mall, bought a battery. Sat about 20 cars back from a huge traffic accident for about an hour and a half. 7 hour round trip ended up taking 10+...
Finally made it back and set it up. Good shape, faded side art, a couple broken plastics here and there, nothing that affects gameplay. Bone-us target stuck in, works once if I manually pull it back out so it shouldn't be too hard to get fixed! A spring and some post rings should do the trick.
Can't stop playing it. I love this table.
CPR is releasing a plastic set along with their playfield when it is done. I was lucky enough to get one with a painted cab so I don't have the fading, just some flaws in the wood and paint. It's not real deep but it is a cool game.
I played Bad Cats for my 1st time at Gamewarp this year, one of my favs there actually. Well played with the wife and congrats.
