Over on Mania's Arcania, sharp-eyed commenter Goofball Jones (http://www.maniasarcania.com/2008/09/18/ptr30beta-build-8962/#more-1381) noted an interesting tidbit: there's a new family of pets on Wowhead's WotLK site. Spirit Beasts (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?pet=46#comments). What do they look like? No clue yet, but one commenter noted the new skins for cats in Zul'Drak and posted a tantalizing screenshot from Wotlkwiki.com (http://wotlkwiki.info/index.php/Main_Page).
Now, I'm not a hunter nor do I play one on TV, but I do note, looking at their abilities (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?pet=46#abilities), that they appear to have cat family abilities (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?pet=2#abilities) save for replacing Rake (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=59886)with Spirit Strike (http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=61198), an arcane damage ability. While that makes poster Mattias (http://www.maniasarcania.com/2008/09/18/ptr30beta-build-8962/#more-1381) theory make sense to me that it's one of the cats from Zul'Drak.
That's pretty much all I know to date. The family exists on Wowhead and has a very similar ability spread to cats. I now await hundreds of hunters running around taming everything that might even remotely be in this family for feedback. Keep an eye on Mania's Arcania (http://www.maniasarcania.com) as I'm sure news will break there first.
(And thanks to my lovely wife for the tip and encouragement... we'll go with encouragement... to post.)
