seriously – no more clown-cat. I’m ready to go level my Horde druid alt JUST so I can use the new cat form. /so happy. They scrapped most of the concept and really went with something that I think represents the spirit of what a Tauren cat form should be.
It’s what I never knew I always wanted.
/swoon
They even posted the mostly closed mouth shots.

Move your Horde druid to Proudmore where the rest of our new horde alts are.
Quick question. Does the one in the upper right hand corner look like a baboon to anyone else?
Absolutely fantastic new look for the Tauren cats.
The new bears were great, but this is such a tremendous improvement. Well done Blizzard art staff!
This makes the wait for new Moonkins and Trees un…bear-able! Har har….
@Graylo – It might just be the angle they took the picture at.
There’s no doubt it’s an improvement but … I so wanted to be a little lioness on my druid alt.
god yes!
@Graylo – My husband said the top right looks like the offspring of Scar and Rafiki… LOL
Damn. The bull-ring is a bit ‘meh’, but everything else is a vast improvement.
Now, just to figure out which bear/cat combination to get, and go get a spray-on tan (or a.. spray-on ‘pale’?) accordingly.
@Boize – we’ll be all over that once it hits the PTR…
Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see which goes with what.
I tried to assess it myself, but got a bit caught up over the dark blue/black bears and the 3 brown-yellow cats.
@Lissanna – Bliz mentioned they’re going to try and put a thing up this week that says which cat and bear forms correlate with whit hair/fur colour.

Yeah, I saw that blue post when I got up this morning. I was waiting to post about it later today when I put up the NE cat (since the NE cat should be released today *crosses fingers*).
