Instructions

COMBAT . BASIC --- → front paw blow - simple, frontal attack. bring your front paws down hard on you opponents head, claws unsheathed. → front paw strike - simple, frontal attack. slice downward with your front paw at the body or face of your opponent. claws unsheathed. → scruff shake - secure a strong teeth grip in the scuff of your opponents neck, then shake violently until they are too rattled to fight back. most effective against smaller opponents. → play dead - effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. stop struggling and go limp. when your opponent relaxed his grip, thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. this will throw off an unwary opponent and you are in the attacking position. only sometimes works. → teeth grip - target your opponents extremities-- the legs, tail, scuff, or ears and sink in your teeth and hold. this move is similar to the leap and hold, except your claws remain free to fight. --- COMBAT . INTERMEDIATE → tail trip - the opponent moves to you and at the right moment, trip them with your tail. easily said, but hard to perfect or even perform. → unbalancing act - if a cat is going to bring down all its weight on you while rearing on its back legs, roll towards your opponents hind legs to unbalance them. → back kick - explosive surprise more to catch you opponent(s) from behind. judge your opponent's distances from you carefully, then lash out with you back legs, taking the weight on your front paws. → back rake - like a belly rake. if your fighting a cat from the front, jump over the cats head and score your claws down their back. → belly rake - a fight stopper. slice with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of your opponent's belly. if you're pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back in control. --- COMBAT . COMPLEX --- → partner fighting - warriors who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a paired defensive position, each protecting the others back while fending off an opponent to either side. → leap and hold - ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. spring onto the opponents back and grip with unsheathed claws. now you are beyond the range of your opponent paws and in the position to inflict severe body wounds. group fights may also use this. → leap-and-cover - ideal for making your opponent feel much pain, leap onto your opponent's back and put your paws over their eyes. for the moment the opponent is blinded, sink your claws into the soft skin around their eyes. if your opponent doesn't run away, take advantage of their temporary blindness and perform leap-and-hold technique. → upright lock - final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. rear up on your back legs and bring full weight on your opponent. if opponent does the same, wrestle and flip them under you. this move makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so requires great strength and speed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- HUNTING . BASIC --- → hunter's crouch - keep your body low with your tail sticking straight ahead. hind legs must be ready to leap and front paws must be ready to pounce. is also a good fighting technique. → mouse stalking - Keep your pawsteps light on the ground and try to slide them so the mouse won't feel your pawsteps. --- HUNTING . INTERMEDIATE --- → rabbit waiting - a technique when you are desperate for prey. find a rabbit hole and make sure a rabbit's in there. then, wait silently until rabbit's head pops out. scoop it out like you are fishing, and hopefully catch it. → fishing catch - when fishing in a lake or river. keep your reflection away from the water. when the fish comes, quickly hook your paw into the water and scoop the fish onto the surface. finish it off with a quick killing bite. --- HUNTING . COMPLEX --- → squirrel racing - when the squirrel runs up a tree to escape, you quickly run up the trunk beside the squirrel until your fast enough to block it to the top of the tree. you chase it down next and hopefully catch it. → bird leaping - when the bird is aware that it is being hunted and begins to fly up, you leap as high as you can and bat the bird back down.
