Note that in Rossi's HotCat, the fuel chamber is much longer than in the Parkhomov experiment. It is possible [speculation] that Rossi simply divides the heater into 2 or more segments (from left to right in a horizontal HotCat reactor). For example, lets say that there are 3 segments to the heater. Perhaps the outer heater segments are the mouse and the inner heater segment is the cat. Initially, all heaters are driven to bring the HotCat to operating temperature. Then the center segment is turned OFF and operates in SSM while the 2 outer segments remain heated. When the SSM begins to wane in the center, the center heater is turned ON and the outer heaters are turned OFF so that the outer segments operate in SSM. With the H2 and the liquid metal transferring heat, perhaps each segment helps support the one adjacent to it in such a configuration. This seems a little "cat and mouse -ish" to me.
I think the cat & mouse are probably much less exotic than what has been proposed in this thread.
