I was not prepared for the text-to-speech blaring out at maximum volume without warning. I was further not prepared for "mute site" in chrome having no effect. Does anyone have any advice for blocking this behaviour on a global level?

Just a warning for future explorers

Thanks for the heads up, added this warning to the home screen.

"Warning: the game will speak out loud (since young kids cannot read the questions), so check your volume."

heh :) only read this after trying while my notebook was muted. Quickly closed the tab before I accidentally unmute and wake the lil one

Will be trying the counting part with kid next morning.

I assume its random() based, did get a lot of 3 cats, specially in a row. Never 0 cats or more than 5. I would remove the answer buttons for 6 to 0, or a button to hide those maybe?

Higher levels have more cats, try the arrow at the top right of the page to go up a level.
I had the volume at 1% and I think it woke up half the house. Maybe a chromium bug?
