:This article is about the Cat Unit. For the enemy unit, see Li'l Lion Cat (Enemy).
Li'l Cow Cat is a Special Cat that was added in Version 4.5 and can be unlocked by playing the Event Capsule. True Form added in Version 5.10 increases health, attack power, recharge time and gains Wave Immunity. Talents were added in Version 12.3.

===Pros===
*Non-stop attacks
*High movement speed
*Very short recharge time [Normal, Evolved]
===Cons===
*Single Attack
*Low attack power
*Short range
==Strategy/Usage==
Due to being the Li'l version of a Normal Cat, Li'l Cow Cat suffers from a severe lack of good basic stats, which makes this unit underperform greatly in his field. For this reason, usage of Li'l Cow Cat prior to unlocking his True Form is not recommended.
===True Form===
Li'l Lion Cat's stat buffs allow him to become a rush unit almost on par with Lion Cat and Manic Lion Cat. Despite lacking the speed the others have, he makes up for it with his immunity to Wave Attacks. This allows him to rush and stall wave attackers, such as Kory, Hermit Cat, and even Li'l Jamiera Cat, provided he's boosted enough to handle their raw offensive output.
===Talents===
Li'l Lion's Talents, added in Version 12.3, are decent for what they do, albeit expensive in NP.
First and foremost, he gains up to 10% chance to destroy Shields. While this may be good on paper thanks to his fast speed, attack cycle and immunities, including a Surge Immune talent, Li'l Lion is still not fast enough to slip in hits, has very short range and the chance is still extremely low. Even against shielded threats that create waves like Deathkory, Wicked Face and Possessed Empress, he will struggle to get to them in the first place due to supporting enemies.
To further aid in this niche, Li'l Lion gets Cost Down, reducing his cost to 450c. Since Li'l Lion was a bit expensive for what he does, it is highly recommended to unlock it if you do need a specialist meatshield for wave and surge stages yet lack the necessary alternatives.
Finally, he gets the standard Attack and HP talents that most units receive. However, both are completely useless, as Li'l Lion is never used for his stats, which are too low to matter anyways, not to mention their extreme NP cost for what little they do.

==Appearance==
*Normal Form: Tiny version of Cow Cat.

*True Form: Li'l Giraffe has bloomed! Now close to the size of Lion Cat and closely resembles him. His mane now looks like a pon de ring donut and his tail looks like a four-leaf clover.
==Trivia==
*Li'l Lion Cat's mane and tail are modeled after Pon de Lion, the iconic mascot of Mister Donut. In fact, his Japanese description implies that his mane is just one of their signature pon de ring donuts.
*Along with Li'l Mohawk Cat, Li'l Lion Cat was the final Li'l Cat to receive Talents, only having received them in Version 12.3.
