Loth-Cat's History
Loth-cats are a non-sentient member of the feline tooka species native to Lothal, often found in the grassy plains of that Outer Rim planet. They are small, temperamental creatures, and while at times friendly, were still able hunters with sharp teeth and claws and would stalk their prey for hours, or even days, preying mostly on loth-rats and other small herbivores of Lothal's plains.
Loth-cats led solitary lives, coming together only to mate and raise kits. Loth-cats, when cornered, were very dangerous, and would fight against their would-be predators, most of the time going for the face, until they escaped or the aggressor backed off. They wouldn't typically attack creatures larger than themselves. Although it was very difficult, loth-cats could be domesticated, and they made good, albeit destructive, pets. With enough time and patience, they could even be taught to hunt and retrieve for their owners.
Kanan Jarrus attempted to teach his Padawan learner,
Ezra Bridger, to feel the living Force through connection with a Loth-cat.
Ezra failed the exercise, however, due to his distraction and irritation at the fact that it was Empire Day, and his own fifteenth birthday. The Loth-cat instead attacked
Bridger. However, some time later, while scouting out an Imperial Communications Center,
Bridger demonstrated mastery of the same trick in causing a Loth-cat to attack an Imperial dwarf probe droid as a distraction, allowing himself and his companions to escape.
Around 9 ABY, a Loth-cat resided within a common house on the planet Sorgan. It snarled at
Grogu from under a table as he passed by.
Around 34 ABY, Loth-cats were imported to the planet Batuu and sold as pets in the Creature Stall at Black Spire Outpost.
