Boogie Cat (Special Cat)

:This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemy, see Gato Amigo (Enemy).
:Not to be confused with Manga Boogie Cat (Switch Special Cat).

In Version 3.3, True Form gains a chance to knockback non-Metal enemies. Talents were added in Version 10.0. In The Battle Cats POP!, he is unlocked when beating Gifu in chapter 2 and costs 14000 XP. In The Battle Cats Unite!, Boogie Cat is available for purchase when beating Italy in the Empire of Cats chapter and costs 45 Cat Food.
==Evolution==
Evolves into Samba Cat at Level 10.
Evolves into Gato Amigo when obtained from Boogie Awakens! (may drop on the 1st stage but guaranteed on the 2nd) and is at level 20 or above.
==Performance==
+ 5% chance to knockback non-Metal enemies [True]
===Pros===
*Very low cost
*Very short recharge time
===Cons===
*Low health and attack power
*Very low movement speed
==Strategy/Usage==
Very similar to Cat in terms of usage. Cheap and expendable, Boogie Cat can be summoned in masses to take hits in place of other, more important units. This meatshield role is quite valuable, if not for the wide selection of Cats able to perform this role much better due to faster speed. Boogie Cat, however, can be accessed much earlier than most alternatives and can be used in stages, where there is considerably less competition.
While Boogie Cat's slow movement speed is generally a con, it does have a use in preventing Zombies from burrowing or certain slow units from unleashing dangerous attacks, as the likes of Crazed Cat can sometimes slip into the range of an enemy with a powerful Omni Strike attack, for example, and cause them to attack and ruin everything.
His Cat Combo, Feel the Dance, can be used in many Legend Stages stages to great effect, especially later, if the Cats involved are raised to their full potential.
===True Form===
Gato Amigo's minimal health and range, three knockbacks, Single Target and slowish attack animation often result in his death before he can make any use of his Knockback ability. The only notable enemies for which it might be useful are One Horn, Cyberhorn, Oldhorn, Kid Tappa, Li'l Zyclone, Miss Haka and Big Sal, due to their low range. Even then, it's still only a 5% chance, meaning Amigo may not even knockback no matter what setup you use. The knockback itself can be quite deadly on stages like Mineral Treatment, where it can interrupt your stalling efforts. 
For early Uncanny Legends, Gato Amigo does work as a short-term counter to Oldhorn. In stages such as Annin Pass, Utsubobo Seamount and Seahorse Siren, there is not a large amount of them to counter, making his Single Target attack less of a problem.
===Talents===
With Talents, Gato Amigo can become one of the only Surge-immune meatshields in the game. Due to his slowness, he can't completely prevent most Surge Attackers from advancing, but his spammability can greatly reduce the amount of ground lost when a Surge hits your frontlines. This is especially useful against Aku Enemies, many of which can produce Surges deep in your lines when slain. Use him with Talented Beefcake Cat for an excellent anti-Surge combo.
Knockback Up is a double-edged sword, but does help against some short-ranged enemies, while the other Talents are a waste of NP, as almost nobody can slow or freeze this Cat without killing him too, regardless of Defense Buff or level.

==Trivia==
*If you look closely, Boogie Cat's afro will come off when knocked back, meaning that his hair is a wig and he is bald.
*"Sammmbaaaaa!!111one" is a reference to The "!1" Phenomenon, which occurs when typing a string of exclamation points and letting go of the shift key too early.
*Gato Amigo means "Cat Friend" in Spanish.
*Even though his name is already Spanish, Gato Amigo is renamed to Gato Mariachi in the Spanish translation of The Battle Cats.
