Bodhisattva Cat (Super Rare Cat)

Bodhisattva Cat is a Super Rare Cat that was introduced in Version 2.0 and can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule. True Form added in Version 5.0 increases range and gains the ability to weaken Floating enemies. Talents were added in Version 8.0.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Avalokitesvara Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Tathagata Cat at level 30 using Catfruit and XP.
==Performance==
+ 40% chance to slow Floating enemies for 4 seconds
+ 30% chance to weaken Floating enemies for 4 seconds [True]
===Pros===
*Area Attack
*Fast attack rate
*Decent health and DPS
===Cons===
*High cost
*Long recharge time
==Strategy/Usage==
Bodhisattva Cat would be a solid anti-Floating unit if not for the existence of Bishop Cat, whose True Form, Sanzo Cat, does everything Bodhisattva Cat does and more. Bodhisattva may have higher stats, but when it comes to stalling Floating enemies, there's just no beating Sanzo's spammability.
If Sanzo Cat is not owned, Bodhisattva Cat can be stacked to effectively counter Bun Buns, Shy Boys and some of the Cyclones. Just don't invest too much into it, because it's only a matter of time until the Rare Cat Capsules blesses you with Bishop Cat.
===True Form===
Tathagata Cat gains more health and attack power, along with more range. All of this increases its general use, and it now fully outranges Mecha-Bun, although this is still very situational if you have Necro-Dancer Cat. Beyond that, it is still outclassed by Sanzo and Necro-Dancer, both of whom remain more spammable than Tathagata Cat. Furthermore, as the slow chance has not increased, Tathagata Cat is still unreliable unless stacked. At the very least, Tathagata Cat is a decent substitute in situations where Sanzo is outranged, which only a few notable Floating enemies do: Mooth, Maawth and Owlbrow.
===Talents===
Even with Talents, Tathagata Cat will never be able to reach the standards of Sanzo Cat, who ends up having the same exact abilities, so there is no real reason to invest in it.
Move Speed Up is situational and not recommended, as it may sometimes cause Tathagata Cat to creep into the range of dangerous enemies and die horribly as a result. Health Buff is also not recommended, as Tathagata Cat, despite having decent stats, won't go anywhere with only two knockbacks, a long recharge time and little more to give it value. The same goes for Attack Buff, unless you're desperate for a new ranged attacker. Even then, Tathagata Cat's range is not enough to deal with most late-game enemies, so you won't lose much by not investing in it.
However, there are two Talents that aren't complete disappointments: Weaken and Slow Up. Both of these allow its effects to last beyond their duration between attacks, which allows Tathagata Cat to almost perma-slow when stacked, and perma-weaken as well, to a lesser extent.

==Trivia==
*Prior to Version 4.7, Avalokitesvara Cat was a part of another Cat Combo called Dharma.
*Even though Avalokitesvara Cat's hands attack at different times, it wasn't updated to have multi-hit in version 6.0.
*In Buddhism, a bodhisattva is someone who is able to reach nirvana but chooses not to do so in order to help others attain enlightenment.
**Avalokiteśvara (meaning "The Lord Who Looks Down [with compassion]") is a many-armed bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas.
**Tathāgata is an honorific title of a Buddha; the historical Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, would often refer to himself as the Tathāgata instead of using any personal pronouns. The meaning of this word is unknown, but is widely believed to be "one who has thus gone" or "one who has thus come".
