Curling Cat (Rare Cat)

Curling Cat is a Rare Cat added in Version 5.9 that can be unlocked when beating the stage Parade of the Dead appearing on the 3rd, 4th, 17th and 18th of every month. As of Version 6.5, it also has Immune to Warp. True Form added in Version 8.8 increases its health and movement speed. In The Battle Cats Unite!, it was added in Version 1.0.6 but was unobtainable until the June 14, 2024 Update Patch.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Zamboney Cat at level 10.
Evolves into Green Shell Cat when obtained from March to Death (guaranteed to drop) and is level 20 or above.
==Performance==
+ Immune to Waves, Knockback, Freeze, Slow, Weaken and Warp
===Pros===
*Extremely high health
*Fast movement speed
*One knockback
===Cons===
*Single Attack
*Long recharge time
*Extremely long attack frequency
==Strategy/Usage==
The god of early-stage stalling, Curling Cat is notable for its extremely long backswing, low cost, very high health, lots of immunities and singular knockback. It can be used instead of meatshields to wall peons for a very long time in stages where few enemies spawn at the start or only spawn the main threats on base hit. It can also be used to great effect against long-ranged enemies when supported by Long Distance cats, being able to stall the foes in Heavenly Tower Floor 39 almost entirely on its own, or it can hold a heavy pusher in place for an attacker to land a hit. For example, it allows Crazed Moneko or Soba Cat to land a hit on Super Metal Hippoe or Sir Metal Seal, which is usually not possible without assistance due to these enemies' extreme pushing power and the critical hitters' slow attack animations.
===True Form===
Green Shell Cat is a straight improvement over its other forms. Thanks to its extra movement speed and health, it can be relied upon much more; it has a much better chance of stalling a group of enemies early in a stage, making it possible to summon another when one dies in many instances where it was not possible. Despite the difficulty of the stage it is obtained from, it is recommended to unlock this form as soon as possible if you cannot get Zamboney Cat to work in a stage where you need him, such as some appearances of Professor A. in Stories of Legend.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A curling stone with a Cat's face on it. There seems to be a trail of ice right behind it as it moves.
*Evolved Form: Looks like a Roomba with a Cat's face on it. A tiny Cat is riding it.
*True Form: A green turtle shell with four wheels. A tiny Cat is inside and comes out after the shell hits an enemy, attempting to "fix" it by smacking it with a wrench.
==Existence Elsewhere==

Green Shell Cat can be found as a common enemy.

==Trivia==
*Zamboney Cat has the second lowest attack frequency in the game, being beaten out by Cat Egg Pod.
*Curling Cat was among the units granted Immunity to Warp in Version 6.5.
*Green Shell Cat is a reference to the shell of a Green Koopa Troopa from the Mario franchise.
*Zamboney Cat is named after the zamboni, a common alias for an ice resurfacing machine.
**Despite this, it bears a much greater resemblance to a Roomba, which is supported by the Japanese description referring to it as a cleaning robot.
