'''Boogie Cat''' is a [[:Category:Special Cats|Special Cat]] that can be purchased for 90 [[Cat Food]] in the [[Upgrade Menu]] after completing [[Italy (Empire of Cats)|Italy/Fukui]] in [[Empire of Cats]] Chapter 1. [[True Form]] grants a chance to knockback non-[[:Category:Metal Enemies|Metal]] Enemies.

==Evolution==

Evolves into '''Gato Amigo''' when obtained from the [[Boogie Awakens! Stages]] (may drop on the 1st stage but guaranteed on the 2nd) and is at level 20.

==Performance==
'''+''' Can knockback non-[[:Category:Metal Enemies|Metal]] Enemies '''[True]'''

===Pros===
*Very low cost
*Very short cooldown

===Cons===
*Very low health
*Very low movement speed

{{Job|Classification = Meatshield}}
==Strategy/Usage==
Very similar to [[Cat (Normal Cat)|Cat]] in terms of usage. Cheap and expendible, it can be summoned in masses to take hits in place of other, more important units. This meatshield role is quite valuable, if not for the wide selection of cats able to perform this role much better due to faster speeds. Boogie Cat, however, can be accessed much earlier than most alternatives and can be used in 4 stars stages, where there is considerably less competition. This is his only use.

Boogie Cat's slow movement speed can be used to prevent [[:Category:Zombie Enemies|Zombies]] such as [[Miss Haka (Zombie)|Miss Haka]] from burrowing. In both [[The Haunted 1LDK]] and [[Heavenly Tower/Floor 27|Floor 27]] of the [[Heavenly Tower]], you must prevent her from reaching your base. By taking longer to reach her, it is easier to knock her back with a ranged stack while the Boogie Cats are still enough to stall [[Lord Gravey (Zombie)|Lord Gravey]].

=== '''True Form''' ===
Gato Amigo's minimal health and range, three knockbacks, Single Target and slowish attack animation often result in his death before he can make any use of his Knockback ability. The only notable enemies for which it might be useful are [[One Horn (Red)|One Horn]], [[Cyberhorn (Alien)|Cyberhorn]], [[Oldhorn (Relic)|Oldhorn]], [[Kid Tappa (Alien)|Kid Tappa]], [[Li'l Zyclone (Zombie)|Li'l Zyclone]], Miss Haka and [[Big Sal (Zombie)|Big Sal]].

For early [[Legend Stages#Uncanny Legends|Uncanny Legends]], Gato Amigo does work as a short-term counter to Oldhorn. In stages such as [[Annin Pass]], [[Utsubobo Seamount]], and [[Seahorse Siren]], there are not a large amount of them to counter, making his single-target attack less of a problem.

=== '''Talents''' ===
With Surge immunity, Gato Amigo becomes the only meatshield immune to [[Surge Attack]] in the game. Due to his slowness, he can't completely prevent most [[:Category:Surge Attack Enemies|Surge Attackers]] from advancing, but his spammability can greatly reduce the amount of ground lost when a Surge hits your frontlines. Use him with Talented [[Actress Cat (Special Cat)|Beefcake Cat]] for an excellent Anti-Surge combo.

Knockback up is a double-edged sword, but does help against some short ranged enemies, while the other talents are generally not recommended to unlock.
