Baby Cat (Uber Rare Cat)

Baby Cat is an Uber Rare Cat that was added in Version 2.0.5 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule during the The Dynamites gacha event. True Form added in Version 5.0 increases his health, range, speed and gives him the ability to release Wave Attacks. Ultra Form added in Version 13.5 grants increased speed, knockback chance and Wave Attack level, as well as Omni Strike. Talents were added in Version 8.8.

*Short recharge time and low cost
*Decent movement speed [True]
===Cons===
*Short range
*Long attack rate and animation
==Strategy/Usage==
Although Baby Cat is able to do a lot of damage with its low cost and cooldown, it can be extremely risky to use, as its lack of defensive abilities and very low range puts it in the line of fire, not to mention its knockback ability isn't very useful either, as better options exist for both Alien and Floating enemies. More often than not, its long animation and attack delay means it can't land consistent hits, making its Freeze Immunity difficult to exploit against the likes of Maawth and Henry. For these reasons, Baby Cat is of little to no use before True Form.
===True Form===
Cats in the Cradle is a massive upgrade over its previous forms with its range gain, health boost, speed bonus and Wave Attacks. The range increase and Wave are likely the most important, as they combined allow this unit to land hits easily with extra damage in close quarters while sniping threats that are not hit by the initial attack. Its higher speed allows it to reach the frontlines faster and the health boost further increases the chances of it making a successful attack. Its other primary weaknesses remain, but this unit is still much easier to use, and the True Form is well worth its high cost. It's also recommended to level them to 31, since it increases their damage above 60,000, which allows them to kill 200% Otta-smack-u in one hit, among other important interactions.
===Ultra Form===
While this Ultra Form makes few changes, the changes it does make improve on Cats in the Cradle quite a lot. The most notable change is the Omni Strike. It grants Cats in the Cradle 60 extra piercing range, which serves to help them not miss quite as often, meaning they'll unleash their devastating Waves much more often. Speaking of their Waves, they gain an extra Wave level, allowing them to snipe backliners easier and increasing their peon clearing potency. The speed increase is decently helpful, as it lets them slip into the frontlines even easier, or to enter blindspots of enemies like Queen B and Croakley with ease. The knockback chance increase on the other hand, is negligible, their gargantuan 112,000 damage (224,000 damage if also counting the Wave Attack) means they'll likely stagger enemies with raw damage anyways.
Overall, this Ultra Form is a decent improvement, however it is not a huge priority, as Cats in the Cradle was already amazing on its own and doesn't gain any stat boosts in this form. If you own units like Windy, Mighty Kat-A-Pult or Dioramos, getting their Ultra Forms before Cats in the Stroller is highly recommended. 
===Talents===
Curse Immunity is completely useless, as this unit is primarily used for its damage. Slow is too short to be useful, and this unit is again used for damage, so that doesn't change the previous point. Resistance to Slow has slightly more uses, but is just as situational and awkward, since most relevant threats won't give it a chance or are better dealt with other units. Defense Buff and especially Attack Buff are obviously good due to it being a stat-based unit, although they are still pretty expensive for what they do, so it must be sufficiently boosted with Catseyes for optimal results.
