Evidently Anik of Rexxar agrees with me and Eddie, because he was inspired to make the above image showing the logical extension of the direction the cat forms seem to be taking. What gets me is how little editing really needed to be done - they really look like that already, for the most part.
Of course, several of our writers are extra-excited about these newest forms; Zach and Manda both promise that they are rolling druids just to get access to them. Sailer Moon Cosplay Cat and Scene Kid Cat are their picks, in case you were wondering.

Drama Cluc cat aka T-Pain cat.

yeah, that does it. I'm rolling a druid for Scene Kid Cat!

The "Holy Sh*t" cat gets my vote.

Might actually put down my ret pally and become a druid if that happened :P

I have to admit when I saw holy shit cat for the first time yesterday I laughed so hard.
G Jun 6th 2009 3:26PM
I would totally rock HOLY SH*T form, no question at all.
Scene Kid Cat reminds me of this season's American Idol. It must die. Many times.

That... is... awesome!

Haha, I must say I tend to agree that they look a little ridiculous.
I play Horde and always wanted a druid, but could never seem to get one past level 20. The new cat forms for Tauren are so bad ass that they're my new motivation for getting a druid levelled (not to mention the bear forms).
A part of me is relishing in the fact that Tauren finally have a cat form that's more bad ass than Night Elves (after how many years of being stuck with the gimped lion?). Though I do feel bad for you guys. I'd prefer the original panther look with just some updated graphics over these pink and purple kittens.

Haha, I totally agree. The new tauren forms are so badass (both cat and bear), and I thought the night elf forms looked, to be honest, pretty gay as soon as I saw them. And it's not just because I'm Horde FTW, but it just seems like taurens are finally getting justice for their long sentence of ugly cat form. My lvl 20 druid is rejoicing. :)
The night elves finally get the short end of the stick; sorry guys. =/

Anik casts humor on red

Kraf Jun 6th 2009 12:22PM

Where's the LOL Cat cat?

After watching three episodes of How To Paladin, indulging in a few repeats of the "I'm On A Boat" Star Trek parody over on livejournal (http://sparkly-stuff.livejournal.com/186446.html - background music full of expletives at the link, necessary for the effect), and now this... I think my mind has officially cracked.

just a thought, but anyone think maybe they tied the new forms into our physicall appearances in normal form to get people using the barber shop?
DeathPaladin Jun 6th 2009 1:59PM
That'd only work if they gave Tauren the option to alter their skin color in the barbershop, which is very clearly impossible and can never happen according to many commentors on this site.
Tori Jun 6th 2009 3:31PM
Actually that's exactly what they're doing. In order to make it fair, Tauren will be able to change their skin color at barbershops.
I suppose it could make sense because they're covered in fur and fur can be dyed like hair. xD
slartibart Jun 6th 2009 2:42PM
Except in 3.2 taurens ARE getting that very option.
G Jun 6th 2009 3:30PM
pwned.
