New cat Skin? Hunched Glwoing eyed 'Shadowclaw'?

No, not on the PTR, but now. I think I found a new cat skin, though I'm not sure if it's tamable or not.
Running Ulduar 25 (for achievements) we were on 'The Crazy Cat Lady'. I didn't look at first at the wandering cats, however halfway though the fight I noticed not all of them had the hunched black skin... but one of the looked like Shadowclaw with glowing red eyes o_o

Now I spammed print screen while attempting to dps for the achievement and get a decent photo... they are not the best, but there are moments you can see the face of this cat. I didn't dare target it to cast beast lore and for whatever reason fail the achievement for the group, so I'm gonna need someone to check in Ulduar sometime :0

Edit: Had the wrong rare spawn name. Not Duskstalker, but Shadowclaw

I was doing this too, and I actually wondered the same thing. ARE they tameable? My guess is not, because they have the (??) symbol on them. But who knows.

Hrm, maybe I was confusing them with the swarming guardians, how those became tamable.

Possibly, but in all near time, these actually may become tameable.
But...
Image has nearly the same skin/model, and is pretty easy to get if you get a nice ZG group.

The black ones that follow the crazy kitty lady do share the same model as the ones found in ZA, however the one I'm speaking of is our little striped friend mashed in there with his panther pals
(wow I'm tired e_e)

Now, as mentioned those four cats that are with her at the start of the fight may not be tamable due to the ?? they have. However, I wonder since we are now 85. We can tame raid bosses remember? Chrommagus anyone? So, anyone want to test it out sometime?

Trust me, I would but this raid JUST ended... xD I'm bad and posted this thread in raid. So, until the last achievement is met I'm saved to the raid and can't check this out :/

Actually, If I can find a nice, willing group, I could ATTEMPT to tame one. If not, oh well.

Those models, im looking at em and i know theres several in one grouping there but that does not look like the panther model found in ZG, in fact i want to say blizz reskinned em to look like the glow-eyed cat from the lvl 85 STV quest line that rewards the panther pet. It also looks like the one cat that has its back higher then the rest, probably in some different attack position has what looks like to me a saddle, im probably just losing it tho and its probably a bow :lol: But thats what those screenies look like to me :3 It might all just be because they are very very big opposed to the ones im used to seeing which are much smaller ^-^

I think this was tried before a looooong time before ZG/ZA and the Duskstalker was not tameable. Just the black ones were.

He wasnt talking about the spotted one I dont think. I think he means the Black one with white stripes.

Just as a note, Duststalker doesn't look like any of those cats there, he actually looks like Image. ;)

I thought I remember reading a while back that the grey spotted cats were put in in place of the black gemmed cat model (now Skarr) and aren't tamable. But I could be wrong.

The spotted one IS NOT tameable. I'm pretty sure the black one is, but not sure about the striped one.
The other week I was in an Uld raid and the spotted cat bugged and continued to spawn. I got a good beast lore look at it and even tried to tame afterwards. Not tameable.

The striped one though, I had trouble getting a good beast lore look at.

The striped one is not tamable. I was in there at some point and saw it, and thought that it was a very pretty cat and that I'd snag it if I could, but beast lore said no. I didn't get a screenshot though, since I thought it was already covered here. >.<

Looking really really hard at that pic i can finally see the black with white stripes cat, all i saw at first was a swarm of black cats, then i noticed the spotted cat, and now finally i see the striped one

and Duskstalker used to use that spotted blue/white cat skin, the cat model that is not with the huge mass of swarming guardians (minus the glowing eyes and shiny/hunched position, it was Cataclysm when he was changed to the white Snow Leopard model

Ok, the four cats Auriaya has at start are these guys you are talking about. They are named Sanctum Sentry, are color changers between tigerskinblack, tigerskinblackspotted, and tigerskindark, and are not tameable at this time.

Auriaya summons one large cat, called Feral Defender, which if I can remember also is a color changer between the three skins, is also not tameable.

Auriaya also will cast Guardian Swarm which summon 10 Swarming Guardians and they focus on one player. These are the small kitties that are tameable and right now come in one skin which is tigerskinblack. They used to be tigerskinblackgem aka Skarr's skin in Wrath but where changed when they where made tameable.
