May be a reference to Widget, alias Katherine "Kate" Anne Pryde-Rasputin who is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. The character was later revealed to be an older, alternate version of Shadowcat (Katherine "Kitty" Anne Pryde), from the Days of Future Past timeline. Before the revelation of Widget's true identity, she was consistently referred to with masculine pronouns (i.e. "he," "him," etc.). -wiki
I would not be surprised if it possessed some phasing and/or levitation, though that would be consistent with both an ethereal (i.e. "the Departed") and superhuman Kitty Pryde.

Does anyone know if this will be available this year? I assume so but it's always best to check.

The German name of this pet is "Shroedingers Cat"

Comment by madmurdock

In the German client this cat is called "Schrödingers Katze" (Katze = Cat). Too bad that it doesnt have any funny skill(name)s like a poison with a 50 50 chance your own pet or the other pet instantly dies. ^^

This was added in 2014 hallows end, Costs 150 Tricky Treat
Along with the other one, Cursed birman.
If you collect all of the bucket candy from pandaria & outland/Kalidimor/eastern kingdoms AND northrend you should have enough to obtain both of these feline's this hallows end.

Comment by Cloudburst

Interestingly, in the German version, this has been renamed to Schrödinger's Cat.

I suspect this is named for Ookla. A speed test app named after the namesake cat who passed away (born 8.8.97 - died 13.1.13).

Comment by gimolos

Anyone else get a serious pet cemetery vibe from these?

Comment by kynthea

I wonder if it is modeled after a late pet of one of the devs. The description reads: "Not even death would stop this kitten's insatiable curiosity."

This cat uses a previously unused texture that is labeled "boots" in wowmodelviewer. I haven't seen the particular texture used on any other cat in game. Since modelviewer images are not accepted as screenshots, here is a link to the image (hopefully it will work) https://38.media.tumblr.com/2495f8ea67d4403d0fd44071357130e7/tumblr_n9xej0ZcRm1rhhdwao2_500.png

If the link doesn't work, then I apologize. There is a thread on warcraftpets forums about unused cat fur textures if anyone is interested. Its a black and white cat with a large splotch of white on the back, white "boots" up the legs and the tail is white with black rings.

In my achievement window it does not appear as counting toward the Crazy Cat Lady achievement.

You can get both the new pets Widget the Departed and Cursed Birman by doing candy buckets on two characters.

I got them on the 18th and then leveled them and my Feline Familiar up to create the Hallo(ween) Kitties Team.

The cats are great on their own, but together they have quite a neat synergy because of Call Darkness.

It is also nice to have two "fast" undeads and the racial(for Birman and Widget) helps get a couple of extra punches in. All in all a very enjoyable themed team! :)

Check out Widget and the team in action here if you want a closer look at the synergies of their abilities.

They say curiosity killed the cat. This one decided curiosity wouldn't stop it.

Comment by geekygirlish

Wish this or the birman would could towards crazy cat person ach. I have gone as far as I can with that as the rest are promo cats of some kind. Cmon Blizz, they're cats! Make them count
