Description	Scotland (Cat’s Pellet, Cat’s Pallet, Gidigadie) - per MacLagan.[148] This game is played like Tip-Cat, but with a ball and a one-handed bat, and with plugging instead of crossing to put runners out. An Orkney game. Elsewhere MacLagan described the game as using four small holes in a twelve-foot square.[149] An 1882 source[150] finds a usage of “cat’s pellet” in 1648, and defines it as “a game, perhaps the same as tip-cat.” Court records from 1583[151] seem to indication that the game “Cat’s Pallet” was also called Gidigadie, at least in the Manchester area.
