Did anyone try........

Did anyone try to glitch tame the FOOTHILL STALKER cats when this was possible? I was on my lowbie paladin yesterday and saw these cats go into camouflage with a buff called "stalking". This is an appearance buff only.

It's only applied when the creature is not in combat, so even if that glitch-tame method were to become applicable again, simply the act of taming the creature would cause it to drop.

Dialga is correct. It wouldn't stay that way plus that is also a BAD appearance thing, as it makes them very hard to see, thus giving a hunter pvp advantages.

I was curious if anyone had actually tried. Not currently since we all know that's no longer an option.
And I was meaning "bad" as in it's no a buff. There's no damage gain.

My thought was if it held the cloak through frost trap to glitch tame. However it doesn't appear anyone tried.

Was more a thought put out there if anyone had tried in the PAST.

Ya gotta think of bad beyond just "damage buff". Bad tames/exploit tames come in all shapes and sizes. Example: Beetle from naxx. While he was cute as a button and didn't have a buff, he was still, technically, a bad tame. Why? He wasn't targetable and seeable by pvpers.

The beetle wasn't exactly a "special" tame like the Oil-Covered Wolf, Battleboars etc. It was simply the same or similar model as the normal beetle, under a "different" category.

In the Model Viewer, there's two kinds of beetle models: Ones used by the Silithid Beetles, which come in all colors, and ones similar the the beetles used in spells such as Crypt Scarabs, which are often tiny, only come in black, and leave a trail behind them when they move. The Naxx Beetle used the latter of the two, hence its small size. It just happened to be labeled as another normal beetle.

Even so, I felt it was a good example since it didn't have a 'buff' to appear small and it was a bad tame(I even have one, I admit. He was pretty awesome). I think it got the point across.
