:For other instances, see Skelecat (Enemy) or Cat Devil (Special Cat).
Zombie Cat is a Special Cat that can be purchased for 120 Cat Food in the Upgrade Menu after completing Madagascar in Empire of Cats Chapter 1. In Version 3.3, True Form grants Area Attack. As of Version 5.6, True Form also gains Strong against Zombies and the Zombie Killer ability. Talents were added in Version 10.0. In The Battle Cats POP!, it is obtainable in Hyogo in Chapter 2 and costs 12000 XP. In The Battle Cats Unite!, Zombie Cat is unlocked in Madagascar in the Empire of Cats chapter and costs 60 Cat Food.

+ Strong against Red and Zombie enemies [True]

*Area Attack [True]
===Cons===
*Low health and movement speed
*Short range
*Single Attack [Normal, Evolved]
==Strategy/Usage==
Zombie Cat is meant to be a light version of Fish Cat, as he is weaker but cheaper and faster-recharging. Use him against some of the weaker Red enemies in Empire of Cats.
Despite losing use quickly outside of Empire of Cats, he is included in a few notable Cat Combos: Biohazard and Horror Movies. When combined, these combos can make cats like Artist far more effective as meatshields, by increasing both numbers and quality.
===True Form===
Sadly, Skelecat's low stats prevent him from being a viable anti-Zombie unit, despite gaining strength against them and area attackers. However, he still has his own use for the Bony Bone combo with Necromancer Cat, which can easily be combined with Biohazard to greatly reduce cooldown times of spammable units.
===Talents===
It is not recommend to invest in any of Skelecat's expensive talents at all, since they do nothing to an already bad unit. While he has area attack, his very high cost for his low stats and few knockbacks leads to him being outclassed by Island Cat, Brainwashed Fish Cat and Manic Island Cat in that regard as a general and specialist melee attacker.
