Around Azeroth: Aquatic felines
Several readers, including submitter Lyssa of on Ravencrest (EU-A), have discovered these cat-head floats in various ponds around Azeroth. Are these meant to attract cat-eating fish? Crazy cat ladies? Anime dogs? Who knows?

Wait... that's a cat-thing? @_@ From the smaller pic, it looked like C'Thun was sending up spare eyes or something...

Looks like a chocolate bunny head, or a cat, or whatever.

I know the one in the screen shot shows you the entrance to a cavern. Maybe they all do... I haven't checked.

Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white wha...cat
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail
This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye
White wha...cat - holy grail

I believe it might be some kind of new fishing item you can collect to use as your fishing bobber.

Hey, it IS one of those bobbers!
Those were datamined a long time ago. I didn't think we would ever see them.
Nice. I wonder if it's an actual fishing item, or just a reuse of the model?

I actually ran into two of those data mined "bobber" images yesterday, at Hayward Fishery (Worgen startind zone quests), they were being used as decorative doodads in the fishing shack. I don't think these images were ever intended for player use.

want
I hope that's an actual intention or possibility.
Drakkenfyre Feb 27th 2011 3:22PM
amazon, I noticed that, too.
I thought it was tossed in because it nor any of the others were ever used.

Draenai: "What in the name of the Naruu is that?"
Cat Head: "Uh... meow? Pay no attention to me. Pay no attention to me. I'm just an innocent cat head floating in this lake for no reason" *purrs nonchalantly*
Draenai: ...
Cat Head: "I'm going to float away now." *nervous laughter*
Draenai: ...
