Cat

The Cat (Japanese: ネコ Neko; Cat) is a job in Miitopia. It is one of the three jobs unlocked after the Dark Lord seals the Hero's powers for the first time, along with the Imp and the Scientist. Despite this, the Cat is prominently featured in marketing and trailers alongside the Warrior, the Mage, and the Cleric, which are jobs that debuted in Greenhorne. The Cat is also featured in Miitopia: Casting Call as a party member along with the aforementioned three jobs.

In the promotional material for the Nintendo 3DS version, the Cat is represented by a male Mii named either Shouta (しょうた) by Nintendo of Japan, Bill by Nintendo of America , or Billy by Nintendo UK. This Mii would appear with a different skin tone, hair color, and eye color in subsequent Western promotional material after the "Adventure awaits your Tomodachi Life friends!" trailer. In the announcement trailer for the Nintendo Switch version, the male Mii representing the Cat is named Ray by Nintendo of America or Souta (そうた) by Nintendo of Japan. Other Mii characters would represent the Cat in other trailers, including Jon and another Mii also named Shouta (しょうた).

Gameplay
The Cat is an offensive job with a focus on single-target attacks, with the ability to target multiple enemies through Double Scratch and Feline Frenzy. With one of the highest Attack and Speed stats, and the aid of Sharpen Claws, the Cat can output high amounts of physical damage. The Cat is also capable of self-healing through Grooming and Lick Wounds, as well as minor MP recovery for its allies with Playful Antics. It is even capable of obtaining extra Grub with Steal Grub.

Despite its strengths, the Cat can still be particularly vulnerable due to its low HP, especially against enemies with powerful Magic attacks as the Cat has the lowest maximum Magic stat out of every job. Because of its low MP, the Cat must also be careful when using its skills.

In the Nintendo Switch version, a Hero with the Cat job can use the Horse-Whispering Cat assist, which is a single-target physical attack that hits an enemy 6 times with a 1.55x damage multiplier.

The Cat's preferred weapon is the Gloves, which raise Attack, and its clothing is the Cat Suit which raises Defense. The Cat may also wear amiibo costumes.

Role in Miitopia: Casting Call
In Miitopia: Casting Call, the Cat is a member of the party along with the Warrior, the Mage, and the Cleric. They wear the Kitten Suit by default, but the player can also make them wear the Puss in Boots Suit, the Gentleman Cat Suit, and the Polka-Dot Cat Suit, and can mix and match hats and clothing.

In "Chosen Ones", the party is introduced as they are about to battle the Dark Lord, with the party enamoured by the Cat who is introduced last. The Cat is then shown to Lend a Hand to the Warrior and they attack the Dark Lord together, which seemed to bring him down at first. However, the Dark Lord surprises the party by taking the faces of the Cat, the Mage, and the Cleric, leaving the Warrior to battle the Dark Lord on their own.

In "Camaraderie", the Cat only makes a brief cameo, walking past the Mage and the Cleric causing trouble with the Warrior.

In "Venture Forth", the party makes their way to Greenhorne Castle, where they are introduced to the King and Princess of Greenhorne. When the Princess's face got stolen not long after, the party heads out on a journey to rescue her, with the Cat being involved in multiple shenanigans along the way. The Cat is shown complimenting the Cleric's clothes, getting their heart dipped in darkness and tripping up the Mage, and falling asleep while on watch during the night.
