Gizmo the Attack Cat[1] is an enemy/minor character in Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures.
He is found on top of the wall of the Old Arcade area, not far away from the hot dog stand, merely walking back and forth, whilst looking around; If Pac-Man orders a hot dog, Gizmo will steal it. To prevent this, the player must shoot Gizmo while he is running for the hotdog, or if he already snatched the hot dog, he can still be shot before going off screen if the player is fast enough. If the player shoots Gizmo too early (or if he is still on top of the wall in general), Gizmo will turn aggressive, and claw Pac-Man, resulting in a failure.
Gizmo can also be found in one of the trash cans. He can safely be disposed of them by shooting at it, resulting in his escape, or if Pac-Man tries to check on it (whilst Gizmo is still inside), he will also be clawed.
In addition, Pac-Man is easily distracted by Gizmo when entering the area. If he is distracted for too long, he collides with the hotdog cart, causing his emotion to deplete, unless the player shoots him back into reason early.
