Catch-A-Cat

The building is on fire! Cats are jumping out of the top middle window, in all directions! As a fireman, your job is to catch as many cats as you can, without letting them splat on the ground. When ten cats have splatted, the game is over. You can move the fireman left and right by tapping where you want him to go. He will run to where you tap. He can only run left and right. The longer the game goes on, the faster the cats fall and the faster the fireman runs. How many cats can you catch?
