Cat mode is long overdo for a skill update because they are very outdated in both being too weak for modern maple and feeling really clunky and not fun to play. Cat's Cradle Blitzkrieg and Meow Card: Gold Card just got updated to modern standards, but the rest of the kit needs a little bit of lovings!
Main identity to keep is for Cat to be a hard support, buffer, enchanter, and healer identity and work on making them more fun and engaging for the player to actually want to play in Cat Mode the entire time.
