Cat guard
Cats were enemy guards encountered in "An Opera of Fear" of Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. They served as Don Octavio's rooftop guards.
Description
These cats have light brown fur with black hair on their heads, which they wear in a ponytail. They wear pink suits that have a light brown part on the middle, gray gloves, black shoes and a white opera mask that has holes for their green eyes and have whiskers painted on them; they also have a small sash on their bodies. They attack by throwing three fireworks at the ground or throwing a small fiery bomb that explodes and can burn if touched. They can also throw rocks.

Trivia
- There's a glitch involving these guards, Murray's time stop ability and the binocucom. Freezing time while they are in the air performing the attack that involves throwing burning sticks and then zooming with the binocucom on their face causes most of their body to disappear, with the exception of their eyes. If you keep watching them in this state, the enemy will despawn without leaving any drops behind.
- A cat guard can be seen on a poster in the job "Into the Depths." Interestingly, the cat on the poster maintains the design of the earlier version of the cats with their Carnevale getup.
