Cat of Felkovic (Magic Figurine)

This delicate jade statuette stands barely 1-inch high. It is a small, domestic cat with a contented expression, sitting on a jade base. The statuette closely resembles a figurine of wondrous power, though it is not one of the forms normally listed for that item.
When someone tosses the figurine to the ground and utters a command word, the cat becomes a smilodon. (A smilodon is a sabre-tooth tiger-see Cat in the MONSTROUS MANUAL™ accessory.) The cat obeys whoever commands it. The cat is harmless as long as it's fed. Like many predators, it needs food once a day. If it is recalled before it has finished eating, the kill (or corpse) becomes part of the figurine, appearing in miniature beneath the cat's paw on the base. Later, the owner may notice that the carrion has vanished.
Each day the cat goes hungry, it becomes animate on its own, and hunts for food. It transforms itself at night, and attempts to do so when no one is watching. When it makes its first transformation under a new owner, it becomes only a house cat, satisfied by a bird or mouse. Each day that hunger triggers a subsequent transformation, it becomes a larger, more ferocious cat. It hunts and kills the easiest and most appropriate prey-which eventually may even be its owner.
When hunger has animated the cat, the owner cannot control it. In fact, it is completely immune to all spells and spell effects. Only magical weapons can harm it.
