Please Change the "Void-Scarred Cat" Model Back

hello all, i know this is probably some rather trivial feedback however i’ve noticed that one of my favourite pets, the “Void-Scarred Cat”, has had a slight model change and i would like to change it back

for those unaware, the Void-Scarred Cat has a regular cat model and texture underneath the voidy purple-ness, and this is particularly visible when you click on it and see the portrait. in the past (im not sure how recently this was changed, i only just got back a few days ago) the Void-Scarred Cat used a orange-and-white cat model, however now it uses a grey cat model

the reason i’d like it changed back to the orange-and-white model is because i had a really special connection with it as it reminded me of my late cat Mr. Nugget, so much so i renamed my Void-Scarred Cat to “Purple Nugget”. i would often bring him out to come explore the world with me and cheer me up when i’m missing him, however now that it’s no longer an orange-and-white cat it’s hard to feel the same about it

i think i’m probably the only person in the world who has a problem or even noticed this change, and i doubt any kind of developer will read this in the flood of bug reports and whatnot but i thought i’d at least try. thanks (:

After a brief bit of investigating, it would seem this model may have been changed as recently as October/August 2024 based on the actual spells changelog history on wowhead and timestamps of screenshots.

This was probably in anticipation of the Horrific Visions event returning with patch 11.1.5 Why the cats color was changed is still odd though considering the icon still shows an orange cat. Probably another one of numerous unintended bugs with content lately.

In fact, other void-scarred pets such as the Hare and Toad were also updated.

This post touched my heart though and I do hope it gets noticed at some point and rectified. :slight_smile:

Waste of resources and time to make a unnecessary change Blizzard has a knack for that.

As I recall it was orange striped and fat I loved it that way, and felt giddy that I had a WoW version of Garfield.

They made a change to the emerald dream DF sets and the tops look awful and horrendous.

As an aside, can Blizz please update the derp looking old dragonling pets to the more modern style? The new ones are so much cuter.
