Strategy/Usage

The god of early-level stalling, Curling Cat can rush to the front lines and tank any hit. It works very well at the start of a battle, where enemies tend to be weak or limited, as it only attacks once every 4 minutes and 27 seconds and thus gives the player ample time to build up money.

It can also be used to great effect against long-ranged enemies when supported by Long Distance Cats, being able to stall the foes in Floor 39 on his own, or it can hold a heavy pusher in place for an attacker to land a hit, for example, to allow Crazed Moneko to land a hit on Super Metal Hippoe or Sir Metal Seal, which is usually not possible due to how hard they push.

Stats

*All stats include 300% Empire of Cats Treasures except for Normal Form's initial stats; Recharge time may vary.

*Time between attacks is the time of the attack from the attack's execution until the next attack animation starts (includes backswing).

For units with multi-hit attacks, attack animation is the part of the animation leading up to the first hit.

*See this section to calculate Curling Cat's stats.

Appearance

• Normal Form: Looks like a curling stone with a cat's face on it. There seems to be a trail of ice right behind it as it moves.
• Evolved Form: Looks like a Roomba (an automatic floor cleaner) with a cat's face and a tiny cat is riding on it.
• True Form: Looks like a green turtle shell with four wheels. A cat is inside, and comes out after the shell hits an enemy, attempting to "fix" it.

Trivia

• Curling Cat has the longest backswing and overall delay between attacks of all cat units.
• Green Shell Cat may be a reference to the shell of a Green Koopa Troopa from the Mario franchise, which is known to travel in straight lines.
