I get a reset caused by watchdog message but other than that no crashes and plays fine here on 0.145u4 X64 official binary.
-verbose flag doesn't show anything unusual on my end as well.

I tried on my box (32-bit, XP) for 0.145, 0.145u4 and current SVN and none of them crash to prompt or otherwise hang with default to MAME settings.
What actual flavor of MAME are you using - UI, UIFX, MAME Plus, or something else?

Can you delete contents of directories
cfg, diff, nvram and try again to play the game?

There is not a single file created in those directories for Magical Cat Adventure (mcatadv) because game crashes before legal exit by pressing "Esc" key.
Game runs flawlessly in MAME 0.144 64bit (I have checked it just for comparison with 0.145 64bit)

I played until the beginning of level 2 with no issues. That was as long as I could stand, what a boring game. Try Top Hunter for the Neo Geo. It's sort of similar but much, much better.
Self compiled 64-bit 145u4 on 10.7.3

Yes and still crashes...
Also I have tried in Emu Loader [v6.5.2]... ...crashes too 
P.S. Would You please, try this game in EmuLoader ?

I know very well Top Hunter (NeoGeo) - that's almost completely different type of game.

I disagree. Top Hunter is basically a side scrolling jump & run platformer where you pick up coins, just like Magical Cat Adventure.
The arm mechanic, skate sequences, two player co-op and the secrets are just icing on the cake!

Just so you know your not alone, it crashes here as well.
No idea why though. compiling with symbols and running gdb makes the game work perfectly.

more information on your setup that crashes might be helpful if anyone were to care about fixing it assuming there is anything to fix at all.
Running 0.145u4 X64 official binary does not produce a crash.
mame64 -window -verbose mcatadv

It's likely the same randomness that is causing NOST and NOSTK to crash for some people and very rarely. In any case, it's logged.
You could try a later binary to see if it improves your situation.

Thanks for Your quick answer.
It was very strange to me that this game crash and others (thousands...) work just fine. I updated gfx drivers, DirectX 9.0c & 11 (both 32 bit & 64 bit), but nothing was improved regarding Magical Cat Adventure.

Is your MAME patched with the no nag\hi score diff? If so there is a 99.9% that is the problem.

No.
It's just MAME... ...no HLSL... ...no cheat... ...no UI...
Pure MAME 64bit.
P.S. As I said before, I tried Emu Loader - but result was the same.

I just tried Nostradamus (nost) and it crashes even quicker then Magical Cat Adventure... ...and not rarely as You wrote, but every single start of the game. (a few seconds after start it crashes)

It's rare as in it doesn't happen for everyone all the time. In your case, the 0.145 binary is obviously giving you issues. That is why I suggested upgrading to a later U release to see if it crashes. Check the NEWS section for MAME 0.145u1-0.145u4 64-bit Binaries to try.

I will try these 2 games in the next "full" (0.146) release. Meanwhile, I can freely say that something went wrong between 0.144 and 0.145 with mcatadv.c driver, because everything is OK in MAME64bit 0.144.(I just played Nostradamus all the way to the "Congratulation" screen)

My specs are almost the same as CTOJAH's apart from a newer ati video card.
Nost crashes as well, except when running gdb.
However Ive just discovered that neither crash when changing video in the .ini file from d3d to ddraw. So this may be an ati driver issue.

If you goto your mame.ini file and change video d3d to ddraw, does it still crash ?
