I can tell you the rare cats won't be changed before Cata goes live as I was given info that all the last changes before release were already checked in. Probably the last patch is the last beast changes we see before release. They could change them or add new ID versions later but then anyone who tamed them since would see changes instead. Perhaps they'll go that way though. I can't say.

How do I know what I know? Well despite some fun speculation, I'm not a developer. However I did meet one on the weekend. Really awesome guy who made most of the >100 new skin additions with this expansion as well as all the rares. Yes, he reads Petopia but chooses to remain anonymous with good reason. Mania knows who he is too. He hasnt wanted me to mention that before but said he's ok with me saying that much now I'll post pics when I get home and provide more details as posting from my phone is annoying.

The only thing I'll add is please don't contact Mania or I directly to pass on your ideas or complaints. He reads the site as do we. Plus I suspect Mania already has too much on her plate to become a go-between.

The second thing I'll add is I found all those rares with my own hard hours searching and a lot if luck. He didn't point me to them. And was put out I found them so quickly

Just wanted to say how awesome it is to see how much time/effort the devs are putting into listening to the hunters (specifically the subgroup that loves pets) about hunter pets.

Several unavailable models and skins that have always been in the data files but never (or made un) available are, in Cataclysm, tameable pets.

It's very cool to hear that pets that were removed or never implemented, but that many hunters drooled over in ModelViewer, will be finally available! The best thing about it is, the pets involved were often complained about or requested by hunters--so Cataclysm for WoW pet-lovers is going to be like Christmas.

For those who don't know, the "new" pets include:

* Black, red, blue and green Warp Stalkers (including Gezzerak!)
* Black, green and white Jormungar worms
* The Grimtotem style wolf, revived as a Spirit Beast (I think that'll make everyone happy)
* Nightsabers in black striped, spotted white, striped white, black panther and orange tiger skins
* "Brain" Silithids (like the AQ bosses)
* A variety of previously untameable wasps
* Chromaggus

Two things to add--I'm aware that people may read this and think "their time should be spent elsewhere," but really, I think it points that they're looking into all aspects of the game. Not to trivialize the time spent, but I'm sure the time-spent to perceived reward ratio is great ;D A lot of us are going to be very happy for what is basically a few thoughtful tweaks. Many of these are changes that the pet-loving hunter community has hoped for for a long time.

I just find it very cool that one day, there's a thread about wishing a certain pet was tameable, and someone finds it two days later wandering around the Beta

Thanks guys o/
