(Not trying to nit-pick here but.. Why do people call the yellow spotty cats leopards? Leopards don't have black dots for spots. Cheetahs do. The ones in-game even have the tear-marks that cheetahs do. ... So why do I keep seeing people calling them leopards? *Flails and huggles her in-game cheetahs and her cheetah plushies*)

Oh. Duh. ;;>>

Anyhow...because I feel it got buried in this thread by replies: GOGO Brokentooth!

Because that's what the skin is called in Wowmodelviewer. It's something like, yellowleopardnosaddle.mpq under the frostsaber sub-tab.

Also, I feel this would be more correct, because despite the coloration, a cat of that heft would not be able to move as fast as a cheetah. It's far too muscled. o_o But on the other hand, I do think that the frostsabers could break the neck of a deer in one swipe.

Still, it's a cheetah! SHAME ON BLIZZARD FOR CALLING MY SWEET CHEETAHS LEOPARDS!!! *Shakes her fist at Blizz*

True, but people call even the non-riding cheetahs leopards D:

Let's just call em what they really are...

AWESOME CATS OF AWESOMENESS AND MIGHT!

I just want that golden mountain lion skin that is in this thread! And it looks nothing like a real puma, but I want it anyways. I wish there was a real bobcat skin in game, and not the so-called 'tan lynx' that they use for bobcats.

Because cheetahs are smaller and leaner. The ingame models are the size of sabers and leopards.

Let's not derail the thread too much.

Broken Tooth keeps his current skin. Araga .. is our last hope ;_;

Yeah someone reported Broken Tooth keeping his skin awhile back in another thread. I think in Shadowclaws thread somewhere.

It's counterintuitive to look in Shadowclaw's thread for a golden kitty, when this is a golden kitty thread.. ;_;

It was before this thread was made. ^^;

STOP USING THIS 'LOGIC' STUFF ON ME *cuddles his delusions determinedly*

ROFL oh god, I hope we can find this cat. I have wanted it for aaaages.

It is a beautiful cat. :3 I hope we find it.

I want the white/blue one more.

Those poor mountain lions near Araga have always had it tough (Always 'starving' and such), and one of my fears about Araga is that it is spawning, and being killed by those Brutal Stags nearby. They beat the tar out of all the poor normal kitties that spawn.

i don't wan Araga to get an golden skin i want her to get her tail back!

Well I would've had a Broken Tooth model, but uhh...

I dismounted, began tame and for some reason my SB popped out (while I was TAMING wtf?) and killed BT in one hit. Bad Heero, bad DX
