Catte

"A bucket has suddenly been placed on top of you.."

Catte is an orange feline Gootraxian that wears a orange bucket similar in coloring on its head. They have pure white eyes and light creamsicle underbellies, neck fur and inner ears. They usually have their left ear covered by their bucket hats.

Players infected by a Catte do not have a bucket on their head like those infected normally do, but they are able to pick up new Catte buckets.

Abilities

When killed, the bucket from the Catte's head will drop to the ground, waiting to acquire a new host to transform.

They may also eject the bucket on their own, but will take 25 HP damage in the process. Catte is able to re-obtain their bucket by finding another one and stepping on it. The bucket will despawn after a period of time if no one picks it up.

They can transform into a Buck during Blackout|Blackouts if they obtain a black bucket. It does not matter whether or not they currently have an orange bucket equipped.

Acquirement

Catte can be acquired by walking over an orange bucket from anywhere in the map or by being infected by another Catte.

Trivia

Catte were the first kind of Gootraxian to have the ability of leaving behind a transmogrifying item after death, this item being its bucket.
- They were originally going to have traffic cones instead of buckets<ref>cone heads https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/815998030963540028/831305191210483742</ref>, but this was changed during their development due to similarities to a transfur from a certain game.
If you use the Overseer machete skin and kill a Catte if they have a bucket, the bucket will turn invisible, making it act like a "landmine".
- This applies to the other Gootraxians that also drop a transmogrifying item after death.
Its redesign was released in V3.1 <ref>Update log of Catte's redesign https://discord.com/channels/786788486887768135/821381992779218955/886890408217546792</ref>.
When a Catte turns into a Buck, its face will briefly change to its death face.
In the experimental server, there is a badge called Trick Shot that is obtained by ejecting its bucket and having it land straight up. If done correctly, the bucket shoots out confetti and text saying "PERFECT FLIP!" will appear above it.
- If the bucket lands on it's top instead of it's bottom, the confetti and badge will not appear, but the "PERFECT FLIP!" text will be replaced by either "SO CLOSE!" or "ALMOST THERE!"
- This feature has since been added to the main game in the V3.1 Late Winter Update, but you will not be rewarded with a badge upon landing the bucket.
It takes about 23 seconds to be infected after putting on the orange bucket.
They are the only Gootraxian that's able to turn into a different Gootraxian without dying.
- In this case, Catte turns into Buck.
