Strategy/Usage

Rover Cat is a useful meatshield in both Into the Future and Cats of the Cosmos thanks to its high strength against Aliens and its immunity to warp At high levels, it can tank many hits from even Star Pengs and its attack power allows it to break General GreGory/Corporal Weyland's Barrier.

Works very well with "Research" Effect UP Cat Combos like Biohazard and Bony Bone, which are able to make it a somewhat reliable defensive unit. Despite its stats and abilities, it shouldn't be relied on as your only meatshield against strong Alien threats.

True Form

Catellite gains immunities that can help against Cli-One, Calamary, Croakley and Queen B. Otherwise, the lack of better health and the very small cost improvement make this True Form only situationally better than before, so it can be put on low priority in favor of cats who improve more drastically.

• Catellite is a portmanteau of Cat and satellite.
