The old concept became a real kit
Jetpack Cat moved from an early Overwatch concept into the playable roster with permanent flight as the foundation of her Support kit. Biotic pawjectiles let her contribute healing and pressure from angles most grounded heroes cannot hold.
Lifeline can tow and heal an ally, turning her movement into team utility rather than a personal escape alone. Frenetic Flight adds another burst of aerial repositioning when the normal hover path is not enough.
Catnapper creates the risky highlight
Catnapper lets Jetpack Cat dive onto an opponent, tether to the target, and carry them away from a safer position. The move can break a formation, but committing her body to the play also makes the attempt visible and punishable.
Purr supplies area healing and knockback when the team needs stability. Taken together, the kit makes flight useful at several scales: maintaining an angle, rescuing a teammate, disrupting one target, or sustaining a grouped fight.
