Saw Jennafur has a completely different model after update today and am super confused. I loved the old model : (

I’m not 100% on this, but I don’t think they changed the model. Or if they’ve done anything to the model, it might be updated to be higher res? Again, not completely sure.
One thing I’m sure of is the skin was definitely changed. Jenafur originally was a grey and black striped tabby with green eyes. She’s now currently an all grey kitty with orange eyes. Don’t know if this was an intentional change or not, but it’s kinda disheartening considering Jenafur was part of a Secret that a Make-A-Wish kid helped create.

Why do Blizzard do things like this? What’s in it for them? What’s in it for anybody? It’s just … waste, destruction, random badness.
I do know how you feel. The Emperor Crab was one of my favourite pets until they destroyed it. Now I don’t even want to look at it when using it in a strat.
It just makes no SENSE.

This is just WRONG !
Hard to believe it’s any trickier to render a more detailed model than the drab all gray cat they’re giving us now. Or that anyone would bother making this change just for the heck of it.
Really pathetic part is that Jenafur’s thumbnail picture in the Pet Journal is still the original striped model.

They’ve done that with Smoochums before, we just need to complain. I opened a ticket and entered a bug.

YAY ! Jenafur is back to her old faintly-evil look.

This seems to be the most recent thread about Jenafur. I didn’t want to create yet another thread, so I necro’d this one.
I don’t think that’s so egregious, since the latest post in this thread is 30 days old.
But I got Jenafur. Not nearly as long as Baa’l, since Baa’l technically began with Uuna in Legion and finally led to Baa’l in BfA. And it even involved some of WoD.
I was at my wit’s end trying to follow along with the video in the guide on WoWhead. This guy was basically, “Yes, the food items only have a five-minute duration in your inventory; therefore I am going to explain each step slowly and distinctly, in three different ways for clarification, to ensure that I take so long that there’s no way you can finish in time.”
And I’m like, “I get it. You used raid markers. Bully for you. I don’t know how to use raid markers. Can you stop talking about how you placed raid markers and get to placing the food items before they disappear?”
One of the things that screwed me up also is that after the food disappeared from my inventory the first time, he neglected to mention that he had to turn around once he entered the audience area to place the food items. He wasn’t placing food items from the entrance. He was placing food items from the back wall, facing the entrance.
But thankfully, after I realized that this languid speaker is not going to get all this out in five minutes, I watched it over again a few times. Once I memorized all the food items to pick up, I quickly gathered them all, and went into the audience room, then followed along with the placement. And that worked, and I got Jenafur.
Nice to have a pet cat that isn’t dead. I was in Drustvar and I did a quest line that allowed me to pick up a ghost cat: Smoochums.
I have to point something out here that seems somewhat disturbing. It’s this repeated use of the ghosts of dead little girls with their toys/dolls. This is the third time I’ve seen this in the one month I’ve had a paid subscription. The first time was in Eastern Plaguelands, the next was Uuna, and now this little girl in Drustvar.
I though Smoochums was a cute cat and I decided to collect it. And I guess I didn’t notice that Smoochums is dead. I was doing the quest and I found the cat, who seemed alive and well. Then the next thing I know, I’m attending a little dead girl’s tea party with her stuffed toys and a dead Smoochums.
I have to say, that’s mildly sick. I would have preferred a chance to rescue Smoochums and save it from whatever was threatening him. Not find the cat alive, and then discover five minutes later it died somehow.
This is not only getting trite and redundant – “Oh, let’s have a dead little girl in this story line, looking for her doll! We’ve only done it twice already!” It’s getting disturbing. Not because it’s a creepy and spooky Stephen King type story, but because it’s overused! How many storylines about dead little girls do we even need?
It might have been interesting and creepy ghost story material the first time. The third time (and God knows how many times they’ve used this other than the three times I’ve seen this) just feels weird, seeing this trope used over and over again.
I also note that there’s a rather large number of dead cats in our pet collection window.
There’s Mr. Bigglesworth, Cursed Birman, Widget the Departed, Lucy, Smoochums, Risen Saber Kitten and probably others.
But I guess this doesn’t matter since tomorrow is my last day. And maybe I’m just feeling a little raw since I had to have my own cat put down last September.
I think you’ve actually managed to hit all of them. Spread out over 20 years, it doesn’t seem so overwhelming, but I can see it being a bit concentrated for one month.
I’m sorry to see you go; you’ve been fun. 
But the game is always here for you if you ever want to dip back in. You know where to find us.

Just to let you all know (my account closes in 12 hours), I’m looking at my Jenafur right now, and she’s a grey tabby with black stripes and green eyes.
So, maybe the discoloration was a temporary bug?
And she just now whispered to me, “Feed me souls.”
This cat might not be undead, but it sure is creepy.
