To me this a tell of AI - it should read "cat-and-mouse game."
I think AI sees the cat and mouse as individual objects joined together with a hyphen rather than knowing it's a type of game.
It's also the wrong idiom. A cat and mouse game generally implies that the mouse spends time running away and actively evading the mouse. Owning a tablet that isn't receiving updates to a avoid the "cat" isn't that.

Is anthropomorphizing the tool.
Screwdriver and I spent ...
A bad analogy is like a leaking screwdriver…
