Strategy/Usage[]
Express Cat is basically a glass cannon, somewhat similar to A. Bahamut, Yukimura and Swimmer Cat among others. With its super speed and strong attacks, it can be used to drill through clusters of enemies or deliver strong hits to a tough boss in-between attack frames. The Extra money ability is just a bonus that can be exploited against a peon that drops a lot of cash such as Doge Dark or B.B.Bunny.
Express Cat's slow attack rate and lack of knockbacks mean that it will usually only get in one attack before death, so think carefully about when to send it out. It is recommended to use it just after a boss enemy attacks, so it might even get in two or three attacks instead of being killed on the route to the boss. Using it against enemies with knockback or warp, such as Shibalien Elite or Trolly Blogger, is also a solution for getting it to attack again, provided if Express Cat does not die to the attack.
Due to having only one knockback, high speed and instant attack, Express Cat can take out an unprotected Assassin Bear as long as it is not too buffed.
A great way of using Express Cat is stalling. Due to its long attack rate and workable health, it will remain in the same spot while also collecting double the cash from each peon, making it easier to get your worker cat to MAX.
Another good way of taking advantage of its Extra Money ability is by chipping down a big enemy, such as Duche, and sending out Express Cat to deliver the final blow, doubling the already high money drop, or by sending it out against a large group of Trolly Bloggers, who will constantly knock it back and reset its attack animation to generate huge amounts of money, such as in No Plan A.
True Form[]
Bullet Train Cat gains some stat boosts and extra speed. Although the increase to health and attack seem minor, this makes it much better at dealing chip damage, which is its main use. Furthermore, its increased speed turns it into the fastest cat in the game, which is definitely worth something and makes it easier to time. Overall, worth the trouble of the stages which you must beat to get its True Form.

Trivia[]
- It has the third fastest speed out of all cats in its Evolved Form, tied with Immortal Yukimura.
- However, with its True Form, it surpasses Stone Cat's speed by 1 and becomes the fastest of all cats.
- Maglev Cat levitates off the ground: this is due to it being based on Maglev (Magnetic Levitation) trains.
- Each of Express Cat's forms are based on a different series of Shinkansen passenger trains.
- The first form is based off the 0 Series trains, Maglev Cat closely resembling the 300 Series trains and Bullet Train Cat resembling either the 700 Series or N700 Series trains.
