[Alright, though certainly not my favorite retro computer VGM.]

I want to like it--retro computer songs are quite rare for nominations, so this is fairly unique for this list, but I like so many other songs from the genre so much more. Like, I don't think this song compares favorably to "Trouble Outsiders - A Battle With Destiny":

And that's just if we're limiting things to PC-98 songs. Expand it to all computer games and you have to compete against the likes of Jeroen Tel & the Follin Brothers. Not to say this isn't a fine song and I'm happy someone tried with this style of nomination, but it's just not my favorite.

[Another song I should like that I inexplicably dont. Comedic, sci-fi, animal related... it checks a lot of boxes for me, but Im not as hyped for the song as Id like.]

I think the fact that the song is from the point of view of the scientist is what's hurting the score a bit? Like, I don't really want to be a scientist (even a mad one), so there's no real wish fulfilment here even with the inclusion of a mutant cat.

Also, the story never goes anywhere? Neither the scientist or the cat actually do anything; while the cat ate the New Kids on the Block that is mentioned in past tense, as something that happened before the song started.

...come to think of it, pretty much all the song is in past tense. The few things that happened all happened before we joined the story, so it feels...wrong. And that's not logical, lots of songs and stories are told in past tense, but it's bothering me now.
