Cat and Mouse
Hello, I am trying to make a game of cat and mouse. I'm trying to make it so that the cat will chase the mouse around the edge of a circle, but the cat won't follow the mouse. It keeps on getting stuck in the top left corner of the circle. Any ideas?

Cat and Mouse
Are you referring to one of your sprites as the mouse or the computer mouse?
Sprite 2 moves towards the mouse pointer so I see no problem there, But is sprite 2 your mouse and sprite 3 the cat?
Sprite 4 seems to be trying to set ‘mouse sense’ to show where sprite 2 is relative to the centre but why have the calculation when it is negative? This is calculating 180 + 2 * direction which is, I suspect, not what you want. But why try to correct direction - Scratch will cope quite happily with the values it uses.
I'm guessing the problem you're trying to cope with is whether to turn sprite 3 clockwise or anti clockwise, https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/55006278/ may help.
