Cait Sith ( Final Fantasy VII ) Cait Sith is a playable character in " Final Fantasy VII " and " Dirge of Cerberus - Final Fantasy VII - " , also appearing in " Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII - " as a summon , and in a small role in " Before Crisis - Final Fantasy VII - " and " " . He is a cat riding a giant stuffed toy moogle , initially working as a fortune - teller in the Gold Saucer . Profile . Appearance . Cait Sith is an anthropomorphic remote - controlled plush toy cat standing just over three feet tall with short black fur and a white stomach and face . He wears a short red cape and white gloves and a small crown . According to " Final Fantasy 10th Anniversary Ultimania " the crown is an indispensable part of Cait Sith pertaining to Reeve Tuesti ' s hobby , although the hobby ' s nature is not specified . Cait Sith does not possess any outward robotic features although he is still recognized as such . In " Final Fantasy VII " , Cait Sith rides a large robotic moogle that , according to the " Final Fantasy VII " instruction manual , he brought to life . The " 10th Anniversary Ultimania " states the moogle was manufactured to gather intelligence by the Shinra Electric Power Company ' s Urban Development Department . In " Final Fantasy VII " it is never specified if Cait Sith is controlling the moogle robot , or if the Shinra Executive Reeve is controlling both himself , but the " 10th Anniversary Ultimania " states Reeve controls the moogle through Cait Sith ' s megaphone . Like Cait Sith , the moogle is capable of action and is the one to fight even though Cait Sith is the one equipped for battle . According to the instruction manual , Cait Sith uses his megaphones to shout orders to the moogle . In " Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children " , Cait Sith rides on the back of Red XIII and does not exhibit any fighting capabilities on his own . Personality . As he is merely a robot controlled by Reeve Tuesti , Cait Sith ' s character can be difficult to perceive . Cait Sith does act noticeably different from Reeve , in particular , his speech patterns are looser , and in the English versions of " Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children " and " Dirge of Cerberus - Final Fantasy VII - " , he has a Scottish accent while Reeve does not . " Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary Ultimania " elaborates that because Reeve is the one operating him , the Cait Sith in the Japanese versions speaks with the unique accent of Reeve ' s original Kansai dialect . Cait Sith often refers to himself in the first person , and , as it would be impractical for Reeve to control Cait Sith directly all the time , he could have a sort of artificial intelligence . In " Before Crisis - Final Fantasy VII - " when under the player ' s control , Cait Sith still speaks on his own . Thus , a rough picture of Cait Sith ' s persona can be made . When Cait Sith is depicted as being directly controlled by Reeve in " Final Fantasy VII " , it is not clarified how he controls him as he is seen at times with a direct link to Cait Sith with no visual means of controlling him . In " Dirge of Cerberus - Final Fantasy VII - " , it is revealed Reeve controls Cait Sith mentally . Cait Sith is fun - loving and playful , but cowardly and a poor fighter . He can be loud and irritate others . When Reeve affirms it is him and not Cait Sith speaking , he criticizes AVALANCHE ' s actions and even implies AVALANCHE is as destructive and dangerous as Shinra . Although Cait Sith initially opposes AVALANCHE due to their attacks on Mako Reactor s , upon seeing how hard Cloud and his friends fight to save the planet of Gaia , he has a change of heart . Cait Sith makes a hobby of telling people their fortunes , which often turn out to be correct , if vague . One of the few cases where Cait Sith asserts his seeming sentience is at the Temple of the Ancients where Cait Sith , referring to himself in the first person , tells the party not to forget about him " even if another Cait Sith comes along " . Afterwards , a second Cait Sith appears and introduces himself . If Reeve were entirely in control , Cait Sith ' s mentions of sacrifice , and the second Cait Sith introducing himself , would be redundant , so one could take this scene to assume Cait Sith has a mind of his own . Story . " Before Crisis - Final Fantasy VII - " . A prototype Cait Sith aids the Turks in the search for Support Materia . He meets the player Turk after having trouble being activated , and tells them their fortune . Cait Sith leads the Turk to Tseng , where Reeve reveals he is its controller and has Cait Sith give the Turk a second fortune , which states that one of the Zirconiade ' s Support Materia is in Gongaga . Cait Sith accompanies the Turk to find the Materia and tells the Turk he knows they are working for Veld , a defected former leader of the Turks , but he ( meaning Reeve ) knows Veld and does not tell President Shinra . Cait Sith is impressed by the Turk ' s strength and wishes he could fight . Cait Sith is damaged , and Reeve resents the robot ' s limited combat abilities . He devises ways to strengthen it , but such improvements would hamper Cait Sith ' s agility and movement . Reeve later has an epiphany leading to Cait Sith riding a moogle . The Turk gathers the parts to repair Cait Sith and rebuilds him . Reeve allows the Turk to use a backup controller to control Cait Sith while he attends a meeting . Vice President Rufus Shinra learns of the robot from Tseng and suggests it be used for reconnaissance . The Turk uses Cait Sith to infiltrate the Mako Reactor and retrieve the Materia , using the robot ' s prediction powers to find the correct doorways into the reactor core . " Final Fantasy VII " . Cloud Strife and his party meet a rebuilt and improved Cait Sith at the Gold Saucer during their world - wide search for Sephiroth . He tries to tell Cloud ' s fortune and after several failed attempts predicts that " What you pursue will be yours . But you will lose something dear . " Spooked by the prediction , Cait Sith forces Cloud to take him along , as he wishes to see what the fortune means . In reality , Reeve uses Cait Sith to spy on Cloud and his allies and report back to Shinra . Cloud suspects soon after leaving Gold Saucer the party has a traitor , but does not know it is Cait Sith . When the party returns to Gold Saucer to obtain the Keystone to enter the Temple of the Ancients where the Black Materia lies , Cait Sith steals the Keystone while Cloud is absent from his hotel room , and hands it over to Tseng , the leader of the Turks . Caught , Cait Sith reveals he is being controlled by someone from Shinra , but won ' t reveal who . Cait Sith claims he is intrigued by Cloud and his friends ' selflessness , and has reluctantly taken Barret ' s adoptive daughter , Marlene , as a hostage , forcing Cloud ' s party to allow him to remain with them , and pointing them towards the temple to make up for his betrayal . The Temple of the Ancients turns out to be a giant puzzle meant to trap anybody who would try to take the Black Materia . The temple itself is the Materia , but it has to be shrunk from the inside to claim it . As a robot , Cait Sith offers to sacrifice himself to get the Black Materia , and the party bids him goodbye , Aeris allowing him to tell her fortune one last time . Cait Sith is crushed in the temple , but Reeve is prepared and a second Cait Sith , identical to the original , arrives moments later . After Sephiroth summons Meteor and Shinra has captured Tifa and Barret in Junon , Tifa is put in the gas chamber to be executed as a scapegoat for the crisis . As Shinra Executive Scarlet locks her in , Sapphire Weapon attacks the city . A disguised Cait Sith incapacitates Scarlet with knock - out gas and frees Barret . The two flee through Junon ' s streets and reach the airship " Highwind " , hijacked by the rest of the party . The Weapon ' s attack frees Tifa from the gas chamber , and she is flown out of the city on - board the " Highwind " . In a reversal of his original role , Cait Sith serves as a spy for AVALANCHE and lets them listen in on Shinra ' s meetings . He tells the party about Shinra ' s search for the Huge Materia and announces Shinra ' s fall following Diamond Weapon ' s attack on Midgar . After Rufus Shinra , now president of the company , is presumed dead in Diamond Weapon ' s attack on the Shinra Headquarters , Scarlet and Heidegger take over and have Reeve imprisoned . As Reeve begs for AVALANCHE ' s aid via Cait Sith , he inadvertently blows his cover as the cat ' s master . As the final battle looms near , Cloud asks his comrades to each find a reason to fight , and everyone departs to ponder over it . Cait Sith goes dormant , and its lifeless body remains within the " Highwind " , until Reeve decides to join in and reactivates Cait Sith . The party fells Sephiroth within the Northern Cave and as the Meteor descends on Midgar , Reeve tells the party through Cait Sith he has had the metropolis evacuated . Cait Sith worries it was not enough as the Meteor rips Midgar apart , but Aeris commands the Lifestream to push back the Meteor so Holy may destroy it . " " . Two years later Cait Sith , riding on Red XIII , joins the remaining members of AVALANCHE to help Cloud defeat Bahamut SIN , although he says he can ' t handle the monster . When Cloud awakens in the pool of water in Sector 5 Church after having once again defeated Sephiroth , his friends gather around him and Cait Sith is among the crowd , being held by Marlene . In " Advent Children Complete " , during Marlene ' s narration of the events of " Final Fantasy VII " , Cait Sith rides his moogle into battle in the Northern Cave , while in the film ' s original cut he rode on Red XIII and was not immediately noticeable among Red XIII ' s fur . " Dirge of Cerberus - Final Fantasy VII - " . Cait Sith is first sighted in Kalm when Deepground attacks , posing as Reeve Tuesti when meeting with Vincent , but Deepground soldiers destroy his disguise . In Mako Reactor 0 Cait Sith aids Vincent and after the mission , Nero captures him and uses him to enter the " Shera " . Another Cait Sith is built by Reeve ( Cait Sith # 5 ) with all the memories of the previous four models .

He can also be used a playable character in several of the Extra Missions . Creation and development . According to the " Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega " , Cait Sith ' s role in the final product bears few differences to how he was originally conceived — a robotic spy from Shinra controlled by Reeve . As Cait Sith / Reeve grew fonder to the members of AVALANCHE , he would have developed a kinship with them and found his loyalties between them and Shinra torn . In a scenario cut from the final product , AVALANCHE would have needed to shut down the Mako Reactors around the world to help combat Sephiroth , but would have been unable to strike them all in time . At risk of jeopardizing his position at Shinra , Reeve would have shut the reactors down himself . The scenario developed into Shinra using the Sister Ray powered by Mako Reactors , during which Reeve tries to talk them out of using the cannon and is arrested . Cait Sith ' s job class was originally listed as " Toysaurus ( Beastmaster ) " , his age would have been given as 9 years old , and instead of megaphones , he would have fought using whips and cards .
