I have never played one, but it looks to have similar theming to the Mousin' Around! I used to own (another Williams 1989 title), which was good fun and great as a cheap title.
There are lots of lesser known titles to be had for good money (<$2,000) that are very playable. From the ratings at IPDB I suspect that Mousin' Around! is a little better designed in terms of playability than Bad Cats, but that still leaves Bad Cats as a solid title with good playability.
Would love to play one to see if I am right!
