Strategy/Usage[]
Normal/Evolved Form[]
These forms are useless by design. Similarly to the other Ancient Eggs, this unit is not meant to be used before its True Form.
True Form[]
Courier Cat is a potent anti-Red Rare Cat. With Long Distance and high DPS, it does especially well on stages that feature mostly or only Red enemies where they can easily hit multi-layered Red enemies with terrifying ease. Its health is not enough to survive many hits from enemies that reach it, so it must be protected with meatshields or tanky anti-Red units. It synergizes amazingly with Sushi Cat and anti-red tankers in general, allowing the vast majority of Red enemies to be completely demolished, as they usually have low range as well. In general, though, what Courier Cat needs is fast meatshields, as it does have a tendency to run ahead a bit too much.
Courier Cat's short recharge time and decent range allow it to be stacked easily, not to mention its Long Distance, allowing for "burst damage" approaches as well. Its Behemoth Slayer is nothing to scoff at either, as it makes their already good stats very high against them, with even a chance to avoid taking damage outright. Courier Cat is especially good against Casaurian Ahirujo, as the Behemoth Slayer and Massive Damage combine, providing over 33k DPS at level 30 with all Blood Fruits, and 52k at level 50! However, since they stand at the same range, Courier may occasionally fail to hit Ahirujo. Courier Cat also struggles with longer-ranged Behemoths like Infernal Pegasus Deonil, Crustaceous Scissorex and Ultima Beast Naala. Its short range means it is useless against Professor A. (or at least without Roe Cats weaken effect), and can only deal chip damage against Red EnerG.
Aside from its utility, Courier also has an efficient Worker Start Level UP Combos with Mighty Aethur Ltd. Given how useful Courier is in general, it can be put to great use at rushing, especially combined with other Worker Combos.
Courier Cat's rarity also meets the requirements to be usable on 4-crown Legend Stages, where its great raw stats allow it easily destroy lower-difficulty stages. This is one of the first Rare Cats you should level to 45, as Courier Cat is useful on nearly every Red and Behemoth stage and their raw stats make it useful on many others.

Catfruit Evolution[]
Appearance[]
- Normal Form: An egg-shaped object covered in soil and vegetation.

- True Form: The egg hatched into a semi-bald cat who carries a package with a long stick and throws the Killer Cat inside to attack.

Trivia[]
- Courier Cat's Japanese name, Hikyaku Neko (飛脚ネコ), shows that this unit is based on hikyaku, a type of courier in feudal Japan.
- The Killer Cat in its attack animation may be an indirect reference to the Japanese delivery service Kuroneko Yamato, as Killer Cat's Japanese name is Kuroneko and a courier is a form of deliveryman.
