Shapeshift into Cat Form, increasing auto-attack damage by 40%, movement speed by 30%, granting protection from Polymorph effects, and reducing falling damage.

The act of shapeshifting frees you from movement impairing effects.

Druids in Cat Form, Bear Form, Travel Form or [spell=1066], are treated as Beasts, and thus are susceptible to Hunters' [spell=1513]. Also, they will not show up on Track Humanoids but will show up on Track Beasts.
Druids in [spell=33891] are treated as Elementals and thus are susceptible to [spell=710] and [spell=76780].

EDIT: For patch accuracy. Thanks for the responses.

Druids in Cat, Bear, Dire Bear, Travel or Aquatic form, due to not being humanoid anymore, cannot be sapped.

here's the breakdown of how weapons work with your form. weapon speed/damage does not matter. your weapon is there for stats and stats only. by stats, it includes thing like base stats (stam intel...thoes guys.) and anything like attack power, spell damage, mana per 5. however, procs do not apply. so anything like http://www.wowhead.com/?item=11608 would be utterly useless to druids. and as for feral atk pwr, its a extra buff you get for being in a feral form. some weapons added those, much to the chargrin of non druids.

There is a secret ability to using cat form when you tape or pin buttered toast to your back and leap from the edge of Thunder Bluff. You will be amazed with the results! Be careful not to look down... or up in this case...

Cat Form is probably reference to Cat, real life animal: The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or housecat to distinguish it from other felids and felines, is a small, usually furry, domesticated, carnivorous mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and for its ability to hunt vermin and household pests. It´s quite interesting, isn´t it ?

Blizzard answering questions about Shapeshift forms, Blizzcon 2014 (source):


  1. "In shapeshift form could it be a real animal roar?"
    You want a roar for each specific animal?



  2. "No but if you do a /roar, you sound like a Troll or something."
    Noted. Good idea.




I hope for this! Like the Worgen form roar vs the Human roar, it must be possible!

Yes, procs that triggered on "melee hit" always functioned properly in druid forms. The only procs which did not function properly in older versions of WoW were those procs which triggered off the "melee weapon hits", such as procs one would find on the weapon itself, whether it be part of the item or an enchant. As of WotLK, all melee procs function in feral forms, including weapon procs.

In patch 3.2, the appearance of druid bear and cat forms will be redesigned, with five different color schemes to chose from, based on the druid's hair (night elf) or skin (tauren) color.

In the Next patch, the Cat and Bear form will get new looks, ive seen them myself on the WoW homepage, and they look sooo cool! Cant wait till patch release! There's not just one new look, but many looks and diffrent colors, that can be changed simply by going to the barber shop! Cant wait!

Just realized something neat, The Reddish-Brown Tauren Cat form looks exactly like Scar (excluding the weird moon symbols on their back, the bracelet thing on their wrists, and of course the scar) from the Lion King. Even has the same Eye color. If you ask me, Blizz intended this.

I just submitted several screenshots of the Worgen and Troll Cat forms since thier havent been that many submited yet. I used hair color as referance determine each form and so labled them as i saw on my screen. (*note for Worgens the color hair you have in your human side determines your form color, and is difficult to change the color since you have to be in Worgen side to use the barber's chair. the colors are as followed going right starting with: black, Brown, Pale Tan, Red, and last a Golden Blonde)

i know most people wont care but for those people like me that do i hope these screenshots and information helps :)

Cat Form has 2 ways to increase its speed: 1. Dash, which is a Cat Form's version of the Rogue's Sprint ability. 2. Feral Swiftness (2 point Talent in the Feral tree; requires 10 points in the Feral tree) gives Cat Form a 15% movement speed bonus for each point, and it gives a 2% dodge chance bonus for each point. The speed bonus from Feral Swiftness only works outdoors.
