- Not to be confused with Supercat.
Superfeline is the 10th Normal Cat, added in Version 11.1. It can be unlocked by playing the Cat Capsule+ after completing Cats of the Cosmos Chapter 3. Unlike other Normal Cats, Superfeline maxes out at level 20+9 before User Rank 10001, at which point it can still only go to level 20+30. This cap is increased by 10 every 1000 User Rank after this up to 16001. True Form added in Version 12.0 gains increased health and damage, full backswing and Colossus Slayer.

Strategy/Usage[]
As an anti-Relic, Superfeline acts similar to Idi:N. It excels in dealing with low-ranged threats such as Oldhorn and Sir Rel spam, and its Omni Strike can hit oncoming foes before they get dangerously close. While its health is rather lacking, its impressively high knockback count makes up for it and, combined with its near-instant foreswing, allows it to dish out a lot of hits before it goes down. Its high movement speed also gives it the opportunity to infiltrate the blind spot of Loris and stop him from cursing your backliners. That said, Superfeline's lackluster health causes it to falter in usefulness against higher-ranged enemies, completely flopping against Othom and Lowkey and having trouble against Relic Bun-Bun unless you use Doron to paralyze them, but it would be better off to use Idi instead. This, combined with its high cost reducing its expendability, makes Superfeline rather situational in practice, especially when it comes to mixed stages.
True Form[]
True Superfeline gains Colossus Slayer, full backswing and a small stat boost. The slight health increase allows it to exploit its backswing more easily and the damage bonus is useful for chipping Relic enemies a little more. Colossus Slayer is very useful against Zero Luza in Revival of Origin and Gigahaniwan in Gigahaniwan Strikes! and the Relic support backing it up; against these two specific threats, it can deal a whopping 114912 damage per hit at level 100 (46584 DPS!). Though in other Colossus Gauntlets, this unit won't be of much service due to its long recharge time, short range and vulnerabilites. These changes allow it to be more effective in its niche, but don't add anything new to such an expensive unit, with this True Form being locked behind 15001 User Rank. In other words, while endgame players will find it a welcoming addition, many others should refrain from using it due to the unnecessarily gargantuan XP investment just to secure a unit that isn't of much importance.

Appearance[]
- Normal Form: A floating Cat with a Li'l Cat face, very muscular arms and legs, and a long tail that waves behind it. It attacks by slamming its tail into the ground.
- Evolved Form: The Cat has increased in size, and its arms and legs are more spread out, making it appear more humanoid.
- True Form: The Cat looks much smaller, looks like a bigger, floating Li'l Cat. Has a very similar shape to the cat in the Battle Cats logo, but with a tail. It attacks by swiping its tail, creating a brief flame trail.

Trivia[]
- Superfeline's name and description are seemingly based on Friedrich Nietzsche's Übermensch, the concept of a human being who is in complete mastery of themselves and whose values revolve around their love of life on Earth rather than respect/fear of a higher power or afterlife. Superfeline's appearance is likely based on a misinterpretation of this same concept, possibly intentionally as a parody of Superman, seeing as its Japanese name can literally be translated as "Cat Superman" or "Cat Superhuman".
- The term "eternal return" (永遠回帰) in True Superfeline's Japanese description refers to another philosophical concept used heavily by Nietzche and associated with the Übermensch - the idea that the history of the universe is a cycle of infinitely recurring events with no beginning or end, eternally repeating its own creation and destruction.
- True Superfeline being much smaller than its first two forms may represent a spiritual metamorphosis into the child, the third of Nietzche's three metamorphoses towards freedom described in Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None.
- Superfeline is currently the only Normal Cat to:
- Have been added after the game's release.
- Not be unlocked from Empire of Cats.
- Drop from Cat Capsules+ instead of the basic Cat Capsule.
- Have different User Rank requirements for its + level caps than the rest.
- Not attain its True Form at level 20+10.
- Have no other variants, including Crazed, Li'l and Brainwashed.
- Have a Li'l Cat's face.
- Not be part of any Cat Combo.
- It is the only unit to have the same upgrade cost for every level.
- The 10th anniversary video revealed True Superfeline's appearance ahead of time and confirmed it to be the same cat present in The Battle Cats logo.
- From version 12.0 onward, playing on December 31st changes the game's intro to an alternate version in which True Superfeline steadily approaches the player. At the end of the intro, the screen turns red, alluding to the line, "[current year], New Year's Eve. The Japanese archipelago is stained with blood," ([current year]年、大晦日。日本列島が血に染まる) in the Japanese Version's intro.
- As of version 12.0, waiting on the Main Menu for long enough will lead to a brief animation in which the cat on the logo blinks and wags its tail for a few seconds, further resembling True Superfeline, before the tail disappears again.
- True Superfeline can be seen as a foil to Zero Luza:
- True Superfeline is a fast, small, embodiment of Humanity Catified whose Japanese description says it appears at the end of eternal return, while Zero Luza is a slow, towering ancestor of humanity encountered in the ancient past, just after Humanity Catified.
- Superfeline II shrinks when it evolves into True Superfeline, whereas Great Ape Luza becomes much larger as Zero Luza.
- True Superfeline's abilities directly counter Zero Luza's Relic/Colossus typing.
- True Superfeline is the last unit of the first rarity (Normal), obtainable only after clearing the last chapter of Cats of the Cosmos, while Zero Luza is the final boss of Uncanny Legends, which has "origin" as a common theme.
- Their Japanese names both contain the word chō (超 "super"). True Superfeline is Neko Chōjin (ネコ超人, "Cat Superman" or "Cat Superhuman"), while Zero Luza is Chō Seimeitai Zero Rūza (超生命体ゼロルーザ, "Super-Lifeform Zero Luza").
- The second kanji in True Superfeline's Japanese name is 人 ("person", "human" or "an individual"), which is also present in the Japanese names of Humanity Catified, Reign of the Ape Lord, Ape Lord's Revenge and Birth of True Man.
- Both were added in version 12.0.
- True Superfeline's previous form is named Superfeline II, while Zero Luza has the number zero in its name.
- True Superfeline's description is one of the few to mention a sub-chapter by name. The others are the Japanese descriptions of Mecha-Bun (Special Cat) and most of the Colossus Enemies, which directly refer to the Laboratory of Relics.
- The line, "At the end of eternal return, it is now moving after eons passed" in True Superfeline's Japanese description could possibly be referring to how True Superfeline was always present in the game's logo, but stayed there unmoving until version 12.0.
- True Superfeline's description does not mention its Colossus Slayer.
- It has the highest total upgrade cost of any unit, at an outstanding 19,999,980 XP, more than upgrading an Uber Rare Cat to level 60.
