I need a cat

Chewy the bear has been a great companion, a wonderful tank against the
mobs. With high health, medium armor, and a growl to keep the aggro, he
is great at absorbing abuse from multiple mobs or a single mob up to 4
or 5 levels above him while I gun them down.

But he is showing his weakness in PVP. No Dash and low DPS means the
ganker has little to fear from him, and if I get incapacitated via stuns
and poisons (and weak gameplay? :P ) then there's not much hope until I
get my own act together. But pet-wise, I'm thinking a cat will be very
helpful. Dash, fast attack speed, and high DPS... now the ganker can
worry a little bit more.

Is my thinking correct on this? I'm guessing that PVP will improve
while PVE will take a dive and I'll have to ratchet down my expectations
for grinding against higher level mobs.

One of the reasons I avoided a cat to begin with was due to the huge
number of other hunters with cats... how dull. But maybe it's
unavoidable, the wise "right" decision.

Anyway... now to figure out where to find a lvl 33-ish cat without
venturing into high-traffic Horde areas while I'm pet-naked...
