Kiwi CatTools cannot log in to Device with a "login as:" prompt

CatTools is designed to work on Generic Devices, but for some device that has specific settings, Device changes in the Cattools must be added to the device to fit the device requirements.

For example, there are devices like Cisco_SG250-08HP Device and other Cisco Devices with a "login as:" prompt, which does not fit the generic script CatTools has for all CiscoDevices.

The Kiwi Cattools is unable to login to the Device successfully and perform the backups.
Putty Logs Session Format shows:
