Revision as of 05:11, 19 December 2009

For the critter, see Cat (critter).

Felines 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 felines are strong swimmers.

Cats

Cats are domesticated felines, and are also called house cats. They are found in Elwynn Forest, Teldrassil, Darnassus, Darkshore, Dun Morogh, Stonetalon Mountains, Azuremyst Isle, Mulgore, Barrens, Alterac Mountains, Hillsbrad Foothills, Winterspring, Stranglethorn Vale, Swamp of Sorrows, Badlands, Thousand Needles, Zul'Gurub, Ghostlands, Eversong Forest, Netherstorm, Blade's Edge Mountains, Durotar, and Silvermoon City.

Twinkle, the white house cat, wanders near Falcon Watch in Hellfire Peninsula.

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

Traits

Feline corpses are skinnable, except house cats.
Felines sometimes drop small furry paws which are objects of one of the repeatable quests at Darkmoon Faire. Lions to the northeast of Crossroads are a good source of paws.

Examples

Big cats are hostile (neutral in beginner areas) beasts that hunters can tame to serve as combat pets.
