Strategy/Usage

Although he has overall worse stats than Cat, Li'l Cat serves as a meatshield in 4-Crown stages or other such Restriction Stages that allow Special Cats. His low stats for even a meatshield and slow speed, however, make it one of the worst options, so it is not recommended in lieu of alternatives.

True Form

Li'l Mohawk Cat trades part of the spammability, which is a staple in most meatshields, for decreased cost, turning him into the cheapest in the game by a good margin. He can still be used as a meatshield, not differently than any other similar cat, but he becomes a little less effective in exchange for cost, making it a good trade only in money-tight stages.

Reverting his form back to Li'l Cat or Li'l Macho Cat is usually recommended, but, if a "Research" Effect UP Combo is used, the True Form becomes a direct upgrade instead. He does have one Combo with Jurassic Cat Sitter: Mini-Saurus, which does improve both his and Jurassic Cat Sitter's cooldowns, and is perhaps one of the best Research Combos that doesn't require Uber Rares.
