Summary
There are several cats inWorld of Warcraft: The War Withinthat characters can pick up and hold. WhileWorld of Warcrafthas let players pet cats and other creatures before, this is the first time their characters can actually lift them in the game’s history.
Cats have always been a big deal inWorld of Warcraft. They are one of the most iconic types ofpets Hunters can tame sinceWorld of Warcraftstarted, and players can collect tons of feline mounts and minions as well. Night Elves in particular have a special affinity for them, with their racial mounts inClassic WoWbeing the nightsaber.
However, some new cats are coming to the game inThe War Withinthat have a very special feature. Scattered around Dornogal, the capital city of thenew Earthen Allied race inWorld of Warcraft, players can find a handful of rotund cats. When characters interact with them, instead of simply petting the cat, they actually bend down and pick them up for a moment.WoWfan and cat lover Haughty Chicken discovered at least five of the felines hidden across the city inThe War Withinalpha and shared screenshots of her character cuddling with them on Twitter.
Which Cats Can Be Picked Up in WoW: The War Within?
As of now, only these five cats can be picked up and hugged, but it is possibleWorld of Warcraftwill expand this charming feature to other critters in the future. For now, fans can look forward to caressing these kitties themselves when they get the chance to visit this newWorld of Warcraftzone onceThe War Withinreleases.
There is more for cat lovers to look forward to inThe War Withinas well. Were the chubby cats of Dornugal not enough, the Arathi of Hallowfall also raise lynxes as pets, mounts, and life companions. Players can see and pet them all overHallowfall inWoW: The War Within, and will be able to collect them as mounts, battle pets, and Hunter companions.
Unfortunately for dog lovers, outside a few storm wolves in the Isle of Dorn, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of canines inThe War Withinquite yet, but that could always change as players discover more of the expansion in later alpha and beta builds. In the meantime, fans can still travel all over the Ohn’ahran plains and pet all the hound-like bakar there – and complete one of the more than 100 achievements they need to add Taivan, thebest boy ofWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflight, to their mount collections.
