He does cat armour too. People have posted pictures of some very tolerant cats in their suits.
I fear he's only causing an arms race.

LOL yes. But imagine this with shipcats, especially at a Renaissance Faire. After all, I've already set up a faire troop with soups.

That would be ... interesting! Especially if one of them gets a notion to take part in a tourney.

That's kind of what I was thinking, armored cats running around waving lances at each other. Think how some are acrobatic, some are little furry tanks, they have different strategies in a fight.

Now... if they could get some dogs involved as steeds...

Although I can easily see some Giant of a Maine Coon going "tell me how the grass tastes little one!"

It'll get interesting when they take on human opponents... and my money is on the cats. They hit WAY above their weight class.
