A game consists of a grid of $4\times 4$ and tiles of two colors (Yellow and White). A player chooses a type of token and gives it to the second player who places it where he wants, then the second player chooses a type of token and gives it to the first who places it where he wants, They continue in this way and the one who manages to form a line with three tiles of the same color wins (horizontal, vertical or diagonal and regardless of whether it is the tile you started with or not). Before starting the game, two yellow and two white pieces are already placed as shows the figure below.

Two are playing the game "cats and rats" on the chess-board $8\times 8$. The first has one piece -- a rat, the second -- several pieces -- cats. All the pieces have four available moves -- up, down, left, right -- to the neighbour field, but the rat can also escape from the board if it is on the boarder of the chess-board. If they appear on the same field -- the rat is eaten. The players move in turn, but the second can move all the cats in independent directions. a) Let there be two cats. The rat is on the interior field. Is it possible to put the cats on such a fields on the border that they will be able to catch the rat? b) Let there be three cats, but the rat moves twice during the first turn. Prove that the rat can escape.
