As a cat, you have no apposable thumbs, and still generally need to walk on all fours. Luckily, you do have built in weapons given to you by nature in the form of claws. Your unarmed attacks deal 1d6+1(+Modifier) slashing damage. You cannot wield weapons or shields. You have disadvantage when trying to throw objects.

There are very few armorers who would spend time crafting armor to fit a cat. You cannot immediately equip newly acquired armor and must pay 10% of the item's value to have it tailored to your form before equipping it.

You are an animal yourself. While you know the language given to you when you were awakened, you also retain the ability to speak with animals permanently.

You can see in the dark up to 60ft (shades of gray).

Being as small and unassuming as you are, most creatures won't notice you, or assume nothing of you. Wild beasts on the other hand will see you as a potential meal. You have advantage on stealth checks against most creatures, but you have disadvantage on stealth checks against beasts.
