Cat



Cats are carnivorous predators that usually hunt by sneaking up on their prey to pounce upon it. They vary in size from a few pounds to several hundred pounds, and most wild felines can kill prey considerably larger than themselves. Only a few species of cat are strong swimmers. Smaller cats also appear in the World of Warcraft, they are domesticated felines, often called house cats, and are a delicacy to murlocs.

A type of large cat called a saber is also the night elf racial mount.

Tigon, tol'vir and saberon are cat-like humanoids.

As a hunter pet

 * Their appealing looks, commonness throughout the game, and variety make them a popular choice. Their Prowl ability works well with a night elf hunter's Shadowmeld. They also hold the honor of being the only Hunter pet to have two unique pet abilities, rather than the usual one.
