The Gimme Cat is an enemy from Final Fantasy IX. It acts like the friendly monsters, though the friendly monsters' music does not play. It demands a certain jewel: a Diamond. However, if the gem is given, the ungrateful cat will run away, giving nothing in return. It gives no EXP but drops a lot of gil.
Stats[]
Battle[]
When attacked, the Gimme Cat throws a fit and counterattacks with Comet. If players waits for it to ask for a Diamond four times, it will fight without using Comet. The Gimme Cat will enter its fighting stance without using Comet if the player uses a command that deals no damage, such as Steal, or if the attack misses. The Gimme Cat is susceptible to Quina's LV3 Def-less.
Gimme Cat is the only enemy that absorbs all elemental damage, including LV4 Holy. It is the only enemy that gives just 1 EXP per character. The player must not give the cat a Diamond, as these are only available in limited quantities. The only uses for fighting Gimme Cats is for Quina to eat one to learn Auto-Life, or to farm gil.
