Kung Fu Cat is a Special Cat that can be purchased for 240 Cat Food in the Upgrade Menu after completing Jamaica in Empire of Cats Chapter 1. In Version 3.3, True Form increases range and grants Weaken Immunity, but has a slower attack animation. Talents were added in Version 10.0. In The Battle Cats POP!, he is unlocked from clearing Calabash in chapter 3. In The Battle Cats Unite!, he is unlocked in Jamaica in the Empire of Cats chapter and costs 120 Cat Food.

Strategy/Usage[]
This Cat is a powerful all-around unit, useful for delivering good damage from some range. Basically, the only negatives about Kung Fu Cat are that he is expensive and has a slow recharge time, at least while you are in Empire of Cats. For Into the Future, Cats of the Cosmos and Legend Stages, Kung Fu's use becomes more centered as a suicidal attacker, as he does not have enough knockbacks to be anything else.
In early stages, Kung Fu Cat is essentially a more attack-oriented version of Titan Cat, meaning he still is good for dealing with hordes of enemies but lacks the health to be useful against bosses with high DPS. Usually, he is used for dealing damage without being knocked back. However, he has to be timed well to get an attack in, or else he will almost definitely die before he can deal damage. A plus for using his first form is that his attack foreswing is much shorter than his True Form's, making him more useful on stages like Houses of the Holy and Heavenly Tower Floor 30 for clearing peons if his Immune to Waves Talent has not been unlocked.
True Form[]
Dancer Cat's True Form is somewhat lackluster, removing his multi-hit, giving him immunity to Weaken, and increasing his range by 30. His stats are still not worth the cost by the time this form is unlocked, so there is little reason to hurry in doing so unless you wish to invest in his Talents. Nevertheless, the loss of multi-hit and the added range can make Dancer Cat useful in certain 4♛ stages. His immunity to Weaken makes him a direct counter to Calamary, but beware his singular knockback and unimpressive health.
His Cat Combo Feel the Dance can be used to great effect in many stages, especially if the Cats involved are raised to their full potential.
Talents[]
Before anything else becomes worth considering, Dancer Cat's stats need to be made viable with the Attack Buff and possibly Defense Buff Talents. Immune to Waves turns Dancer Cat into a miniature Heroic Musashi, giving him a very good role as an anti-Waver for 4♛ Legend Stages due to his disposability. His Surge ability is rather unique in that it always spawns outside his attack range, allowing him to randomly hit backliners too, but the low activation chance makes it hardly worth the NP, although it may help on a few stages such as the Eldritch Forces Invasion and Perfume Room.

Trivia[]
- The outfit worn by Kung Fu Cat looks similar to the iconic yellow jumpsuit that Bruce Lee wears in the movie Game of Death.
- In fact, Kung Fu Cat's jumpsuit is colored yellow in Nyanko Defence Force and Go! Go! Pogo Cat.
- Drunken Master Cat is based on the zui quan (醉拳) fighting style, which means "drunken fist" in Chinese.
- It may also be a reference to the martial arts comedy film Drunken Master.
- Dancer Cat references the deceased singer Michael Jackson, well known from popularizing the Moonwalk dance.
- Kung Fu Cat has the highest Cat Food cost of all purchasable Special Cats.
- Dancer Cat is one of the few Cat Units whose icon is not flipped. This might be due to him normally facing the base and not the enemies, unlike most Cat Units and even his Normal and Evolved Forms.
- Since he faces backwards, Dancer Cat would theoretically be one of the few units who would suffer the intended effect of Lord Gravey's kanchō prank.
