Agile and proud, cats are found everywhere. Only surprised on a 1 (of a d6), they can surprise on a 1-3 (of a d6). Because of their size, domestic cats have very ineffective attacks.

When a black cat is found as a mage's familiar, the cat confers excellent hearing and night vision on its master or mistress.

A cat exceeding its needed "to hit" score by 4 or more can rake with its rear claws as well as its front, so roll the listed damage twice.
