Skill materia with the secret Purr ability, which revives and heals party members by 25% of their max HP for the next three turns after using it. Provided Cait Sith is the one who uses it. Otherwise it only heals 10%. If you have all three members of your party use Purr in a single battle, then afterwards you get a cat familiar to follow you around for the rest of the game. Sometimes it even appears in battle, randomly using potions on party members. If you manage to gain 9 cats, they combine into one super-cat. And if you get nine super-cats, they fuse with Bahamut ZERO to become CAT Weapon, King of Dragons.
