Strategy/Usage

This cat can be useful in the early-game when most enemies have low range, allowing it to deal damage without getting killed. This is important, as his cost and survivability will quickly become his downfall once Empire of Cats is over.

Due to its description and appearance, many people think Bird Cat has very low health. In reality, it has about as much as Tank Cat. The reason the description is like that is because it cannot be spammed as much nor is it expendible, unlike Tank Cat.

This cat can be used in place of Paris Cat until the player gets her, at which point Paris should be used. Bird Cat can attack faster and does more damage, but its horribly short range and slightly higher price makes it vastly inferior in about all situations.

Since this is a very situational unit due to its short range, don't prioritize this cat too much. While the levels will count towards your User Rank, the real benefit of this cat is found in the Saucers Combo (which then pairs with Madam Bride and Cupid Cat for a Massive Damage boosts).

True Form

Due to the short range of The Flying Cat and its relatively low health, it is not recommended to use him against Angels, even though he gains a chance to weaken them. The only Angel that The Flying Cat can effectively handle is Gabriel. Might weaken Boraphim and Sunfish Jones as well, but it's still likely to die early, so it's not recommended.

Thanks to its good DPS, it can be useful in certain situations such as dealing with slow but powerful long-ranged enemies like THE SLOTH, though tough cats with high HP like Titan Cat are preferred. Later in the game, it is outclassed by longer-ranged cats, especially Dragon Cat, Paris Cat and its Crazed counterpart Crazed Bird Cat.
