ANIMATION
Make sure your mouse is to the bottom on the tag in the left hand corner and that you one of the kittys behind the fish bowl with his nose just showing above the fish bowl.
On the mouse layer using your arrow keys on your keypad move the mouse on slightly, then with the kitty move him up slightly.
If you use your arrow keys this will stop your animation been jerky - unless of course you want a jerky animation!

Now move your mouse slightly on and your kitty slightly up.
I would aim for around 4 frames going across, also make the mouse look like he is going behind some of the kittys by moving your kitty layers up.

Then move him back.
Follow the above instructions as used to make the mouse run along the bottom and the kitty jump up, were doing exactly the same as before but this time the mouse is going to run in opposite direction and the kitty is going to jump back down.
