I, like many others who play Druids on WoW, have been rather excited recently about the new Druid forms coming in patch 3.2. When I first created my Druid it was really because I loved kitty form, I called him Shadowpaws…and ended up as a healer. Go figure! My main spec is Restoration, as some of you will know, but at heart I love kitty form. I recently made Feral my offspec in order to run through dailies with a bit more fun and to get some paws back into ‘paws.
I knew they were being released soon but with my new PC being delivered today I completely lost track of things due to the oodles of ‘to do’s’ running through my head at the time, until Nassira reminded me on Twitter.
The above tweet, as you can imagine, had me somewhat worried. I shot over to WoW.com, leaving my lvl 39 Paladin to get munched in Dustwallow Marsh by a blasted Crocolisk, and was immediately befuddled. The previous shots of the Tauren and Night Elf bear forms, and the Tauren kitty forms had immediate, final decisions from me. The Night Elf kitty forms, on first impression, had me laughing. After looking at them for a while I couldn’t decide whether I liked or disliked them. Actually, my immediate impression was of familiarity. I looked upon the kitty forms and cast my eyes to the one looking directly at me. I couldn’t help but feel I’ve seen that face before…
Thoughts? Am I wrong? Anyway, I love Sir Ian, I think he’s fabulous and a brilliant actor, but (and in no way is this related to Sir Ian) I couldn’t help but feel these cats look a tad on the camp side. I can see a lot of the female WoW players going for the pink and white kitties, I’m sure a few of the lasses in <Ferocity> will be happy to have them.
I love the build of them and I adore the markings (they’re my favourite part of the new Night Elf bear forms too) but as a whole, I’m not too sure. I think the only way to tell will be to wait til 3.2 and see how it looks.
Be prepared to see a lot of Druids lined up outside your barber shops though!
One final thing; Kikirowr posted a fantastic image on Twitter, which she cannot take credit for, of photoshopped Nelf Kitty forms. Click the link above to check it out.

OMG!! Your spot on!! It’s an uncanny likeness! ROFL!
Haha! I agree, it does look like him!
And I like the Drama Club Cat photoshop, hehe!
I cancelled my WoW account last month. I think I lasted 12 months total after being a refer-a-friend and getting to 80.
I’m sure I’ll get back into again one day.
