Monster Cat (formerly known as "Nightmare Cat") is a monstrous counterpart of The Cat that appears in Five Nights at Candy's 3 as one of two secondary antagonists.
Appearance
Unlike his original counterpart, Monster Cat is a living creature and perfectly undamaged. His body bears many similarities to Monster Rat as well. Monster Cat appears to sport long whiskers. His mouth is filled with razor-sharp teeth with two larger ones.
His bloody-red eyes are similar to Monster RAT's, but his pupils are side-way slits like that of a stereotypical cat. His ears look similar to his original counterpart's but resembles more of a real-life cat. He possess a long, cat-like tail.
Behavior
Monster Cat appears on Night 3 after playing his hide n' seek game in the Night 2 minigame. Just like Nightmare Freddy/Foxy (FNaF 4) and The Thing (FNaR). He will appear from either the very right or very left side of the bed, if not checked on, he will get a little closer (crawl onto the bed). if not checked at this state, Monster Cat will Jumpscare the player when they look under the bed to check on Monster Rat, and ending the night.
