Feline



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.

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.
