Wild Cat Size
A group of three stray cats (ノラ猫, nora neko) are antagonists featured in the ninth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, The JOJOLands.
They wander around Rohan's villa, targeting Dragona, Paco, and Usagi after they steal from Rohan. One of them is presumed by Usagi to be a Stand user, wielding an unnamed Stand that manipulates string.
Appearance
The stray cats have long pointed ears and long tails that often point straight up. They have light fur, aside from their faces and the tip of their tails which are dark, closely resembling the coloration of a Siamese cat.
Personality
Not much is known about the cats or their motives so far, but Rohan considers a stray cat coming to his villa unnatural. They wander around the mansion, attacking the gang attempting to steal from Rohan.[1]
The cats are intelligent, capable of considering the Stand ranges of their opponents. They also act ferociously, baring their fangs and narrowing their eyes when one of their allies is beaten. They are capable of efficiently working together to stalk and capture their prey, using their shared Stand ability to form a net out of their wires.[2]
Abilities
Stand
- Main article: Unnamed String Stand
All three stray cats share a currently-unnamed Stand that produces a translucent string resembling fishing line. The string finds its target and wraps around their limbs, constantly getting tighter.
History
The JOJOLands
The Diamond Heist
When Jodio and his allies approach Rohan's villa, one cat leaps off the gate and wanders inside.[3] While Dragona opens the door to the mansion, the cat walks nearby and is spotted by Usagi. The cat then heads to the balcony and sniffs the flowers near Jodio before hopping onto the roof. Rohan spots it jumping up there and finds it strange that it suddenly appeared, thinking the cat might belong to someone. The cat enters the house and Rohan is about to search for it before Jodio distracts him. Usagi points to the cat approaching them, but it walks right past them, so Paco thinks it will be fine as long it doesn't make any noise.
After the gang steals Rohan's diamond and attempts to escape, a plastic string resembling a fishing line suddenly wraps around Paco's ankle. It quickly tightens and Paco is unable to get it off. Dragona tries to help, but a string also wraps around their arm. Another string approaches Usagi's foot, but he jumps to dodge it. The string floats back into the hallway and turns translucent. Usagi realizes that the cat must be a Stand user and set up the string when it went down the hallway. Rohan realizes that the stray cat and the rain both aren't natural phenomena and that something is up.[1]
Meanwhile, Dragona, Paco and Usagi are still dealing with the wires that have wrapped around their limbs. Usagi insists on accusing the cat of being an enemy and points at it, but all Dragona and Paco see is the cat cleaning itself, seemingly ignoring them before disappearing behind a corner.[4] When the gang leaves Rohan's house, the stray cats pursue them.[5]
Battle in the Jungle
In the jungle, the cats use a moment of distraction from the protagonists to launch their attack. They stealthily send a wire that coils around Jodio's ankle and pulls him up, leaving him dangling to a tree. Although they stay hidden within the vegetation, Jodio spots them and warns his companions. The cats then have two wires tied together attack Dragona from behind and pierce their stomach. When Paco comes to Dragona's aid, the wires stitch Paco and Dragona together, binding them. The stray cats send in another wave of wires from upwind. However, Jodio uses November Rain to destroy this attack.
