Answers come from the official rulebook, with the page to check.

Cat's Eye is a board game released in 1978 for 2–4 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 4 and up.

About the game

Think "Hungry Hungry Hippos" with extra stuff. 4 players' marbles are dumped into a hopper. Each player pushes a button as fast as they can to fill a channel with 5 marbles. They can take the marbles of their own color to put in their tray, which is cat-shaped. Then, dump the other marbles back into the hopper and keep pressing. Fill your tray with your own marbles (plus the "cat's eye") and win.
