Cat

The Cat token was released as part of the Core Set 2019 expansion for Magic: The Gathering, issued in July 2018. In the game's design, tokens function as temporary representations of creatures created by other cards—in this instance, usually by spells or abilities that populate the battlefield with feline assistants. These tokens serve a functional role, ensuring that players have a consistent visual reference for the various creatures summoned during gameplay.

The artwork for this specific token was created by illustrator Aaron Miller, who sought to capture a sleek, agile feline aesthetic that fit the fantasy tone of the set. Miller's approach emphasizes the creature's swift nature, providing a clean and recognizable illustration that maintains readability during the fast-paced environment of a card match. The design was well-received within the community for its expressive characterization, becoming a standard inclusion for decks utilizing white-aligned token strategies.
