Cattaroma

**“You put a cone on your head… why??”**

**Cattaroma** is a blue feline transfur.

They have pitch black eyes and light cyan underbellies, neck fur and inner ears. They also usually have bright cyan cones on their heads.

Players transfurred by a Cattaroma do not have a cone on their head like those transfurred normally do, but they are able to pick up new cyan cones.

## Abilities

**Cone Drop (Death)**

When killed, the cone from Cattaroma’s head will drop to the ground near the area of death, waiting to aquire a new host to transfurr.

**Fling**

They may fling their cones they have on their heads onto the ground. The Cattaroma is able to re-obtain the cone by finding another one and stepping on it, which does not include the flung cone or another cone dropped via another player. The flung cone will despawn after 30 seconds if another Cattaroma or a player does not pick it up.

**Pour**

When Cattaroma has Fling equipped, the player may press their Ability Keybind (PC) or a UI button (mobile) to pour out a cyan puddle from their cones. If stepped in, these puddles deal 30 damage per instance, which may be reduced to 18 if the individual is wearing a hazmat suit. Puddles may be increased in size when using the ability on a preexisting one. Creating a puddle deals 10 damage to the Cattaroma, while expanding an existing puddle deals 1.75.

Puddles may be stepped in multiple times by survivors, but the puddles disappear after 15 seconds.

If attempted to be used with Pull or Swipe the game will state **"You need to have Fling equipped to use your ability."**

**Transformation (Poweroutage Only)**
They can transform into a Buckaroma during Poweroutages (Or called Power Downs) if they obtain a dark navy blue cone. The cyan cone must be flung to equip the dark navy blue cones, otherwise the cones will disappear but you will not wear it. The cone despawns after 30 seconds of not being picked up.

## Acquirement

Cattaroma can be acquired by walking over a cyan cone from anywhere in the map, losing all health to a Cattaroma puddle or by being directly infected by another Cattaroma Transfur, though you won't have the cone upon infection for the latter two. It takes about 23 seconds to be infected after putting on the cyan cone.

## Trivia

* When a Transfur knocks the cone off your head, the text **"The cone was knocked off your head!"** would pop up.
* **Cattaroma** were the first kind of Transfur to have the ability of leaving behind a transmogrifying item after death, this item being its cone.
	+ They were originally going to have buckets instead of cones, but this was changed during their development due to similarities to a character from a different game.
		- This was most likely reworked into the Crystal Pups and their ability to wear traffic cones on their head for extra HP.
* If you use the Seerover machete skin and kill a **Cattaroma** that has a cone equipped, the cone will turn invisible, making it act like an invisible "landmine".
	+ This applies to other Transfurs that also drop a transmogrifying item after death.
* **Cattaroma**'s first redesign was released in V3.1.
* When a **Cattaroma** turns into a Buckaroma, its face will briefly change to its death face.
* In the Experimental Build, there is a badge called Trick Shot that is obtained by flinging its cone and having it land straight up. If done correctly, the bucket drops a few credits, shoots out confetti and a text saying "**PERFECT FLIP!**" will appear above it.
	+ If the cone on it's top instead of it's bottom, the confetti and badge will not appear, but the "PERFECT FLIP!" text will be replaced by either "**SO CLOSE!**" or "**ALMOST THERE!**"
	+ This feature has since been added to the main game in the V3.1 Late Winter Update, but you will not be rewarded with a badge upon landing the bucket.
* They are the only Transfur that are able to turn into a different Transfur without dying.
	+ In this case, Cattaroma turns into Buckaroma.
* Attempting to use Pour in the bathroom stalls used to blow up the Cattaroma trying to do so, this was removed as this easter egg caused unintended bugs.

### Bugs

* Currently, there's a bug where if you pick up a **Cattaroma** cone and get infected in a **Cattaroma** puddle, the cone will be flung off your head, but you will still have the "Fling" ability.
	+ Trying to "Fling" while having no cone will result in this text: **"I think there's a problem."** along side removing the "Fling" tool.
		- However, you will still be able to use the Pour ability, the cone in question appearing to be invisible.
* There are certain areas of the map where **Cattaroma** will not be able to place puddles despite some surfaces appearing to be flat.
