Changing my stables before Cataclysm
I love the stable changes come Cataclysm, but I'm terrified that I'll loose my chance to retame some of the rare beasties I've foregone for now due to the limited slots.
My stables as of now:
Rafa's my main guy. I don't ever really go anywhere without him. However, I realise it'd be easy to get him back in Cata.
I got Samsa for raiding and really don't need him. I have no attachment to him and I don't raid anymore, and Rafa's my go-to for 5mans. I don't mind abandoning Samsa for a vanilla rare.
Safira is my only spirit beast. I'm actually not a huge fan, I'd much prefer Loque or Skoll but both evade me. I'm planning to go back to Northrend and look for Skoll and Loque come Cataclysm. I suppose Safira could go, but I do like her. I just don't... love her, I guess.
This fella doesn't have a name yet. I got him because of the aoe, but I haven't had the need for a tanky pet since I tamed him. He's definitely not necessary to keep.
I love Atha. She's awesome, she fights with herself, she's fierce, she's great... she's also horribly bugged. Ever since the problem with the pet talent trees she hasn't been able to hold aggro. I see TS go off and I see growl hit the mob, but still I pull off her in two shots. However, I keep pulling her out every so often and fiddling with her in the hope she'll be fixed. She's staying.
So this is my conundrum: there are at least three rares I want from Azeroth.
I'm getting this lady, no doubt about it. I love her so very much, and I'm not risking her disappearance in Cataclysm!
I love the ghost saber. I had it for a while on my first test hunter on my husband's account (haha I just realised I used petopia before I even got my own account!!! ˆ-ˆ) and it's a gorgeous cat. I wish Gondria's texture was more like this and less like I-can-see-your-eyes-through-your-butt. I'm definitely considering whether to get it before Cata, since it'll wreak havoc with Darkshore.
I'm a huge fan of Rak'Shiri. I regret letting her go when I had her. She's gorgeous and probably the only riding tiger skin I like.
There are other rare pets I like and worry about come Cataclysm. For example, I'm debating whether or not Old Cliff Jumper is in danger.
I love his green eyes. <3
I also don't know whether the changes in Barrens will destroy our chances of finding Azzere...
So you see my dilemma... I'm pretty sure the wolf and the bear are going, and I'm definitely taming Clutchmother. Beyond that, I just don't know... Any advice?
My husband suggested letting go of Rafa as well and taming Cluthmother, Ghostsaber and Rak'Shiri, but it breaks my heart to think about letting Rafa go...

Re: Changing my stables before Cataclysm
Go forth and tame your Strider Clutchmother, your ghost saber, and maybe even Rak'shiri! Like you said, we don't know when the stable changes will come, whether before the patch or during, and it may not be worth the risk. Not only that, let's say the stable changes come before - that might mean that suddenly these rares become more sought-after and will then be harder to find!
I myself don't really want any of those vanilla rares besides the Clutchmother, I've always wanted her but never got her. I may release the owl I just tamed and go get her myself.
Good luck in your decision and happy hunting!

I named her Mizu, which is the romanised version of the Japanese word for water.

Re: Changing my stables before Cataclysm
I'm actually going through much the same debate myself at the moment. There are three different pets that I'm pretty sure are going away come Cataclysm (or be really hard to get), but I can only think of one pet for sure that I'd be willing to sacrifice for that slot. Otherwise, I've got two untouchables and two maybe pets, though I've an attachment to each of those.
Good luck either way!

Re: Changing my stables before Cataclysm
Best of luck to you too. I hadn't thought about the Silithid (I can't stand the jumpiness, though I do love them in theory), but yeah... with 1k Needles flooding he will probably disappear. I'd go for him if you have the room - or perhaps the ghost saber, I guess it depends which you like better of the two.

Re: Changing my stables before Cataclysm
Also what about the Core Hounds like The beast and Ancient Core Hounds think they will stick around?

Re: Changing my stables before Cataclysm
I got the ghost saber! Fifth figuring. Now to find a name...
Edit: She'll be named Tama, which is Japanese for Jade. Those green eyes just really struck me when I looked at her after the tame. xD

Re: Changing my stables before Cataclysm
I think Tama and Mizu have both found permanent homes with Sara.

Re: Changing my stables before Cataclysm
Also shes bugged?! mine works perfectly.
the others you could let go. they all will be rather easy to reobtain.
i wouldnt worry about the red windserpent. there are others with the same skinn that are rather sure to stay.
the ghost sabre and clutchmother would be the ones that are in danger.
From what ive heard winterspring wont be changes much so your blue striped kitty are very likely to stick around.
Old cliff jumper...honestly i dont know about that guy. but he is the only one with that skin so might be an idea to pick him up.

Re: Changing my stables before Cataclysm
My hubby and I headed to Darkshore and started opening figurines. Finally I sighed and said, "I wish I had P. Dawg with me." So then I had to tell him the story about P. Dawg and just as I finished it, my husband said, "Here's a figurine! This looks like the right spot for it to come from." Opened it and sure enough, there he/she was!!
