Agile like their namesake, the witchers under the discipline of the cat are nigh a blur in the heat of battle; darting from one enemy to the next these fleet-footed blademasters enjoy gettinf up close and personal with a foe, making a quick attack before jumping away out of reach. These people specialize in hunting faster prey, from simple packs of wolves or harpy flocks to more difficult targets such as displacer beasts, worgs or purple worms. 

 

Nestled in the heart of Nilfgaard, on a cliff next to a stone lake in Ebbing, the ruins of Stygga Citadel serve as home for the School of the Cat. Witchers of the school are known for their duplicity and their fighting style reflects this; feints, lures, and dirty tricks are a regular part of their repertoire. The school was founded to fight monsters that could not be faced head on, such as cursed ones sheltered by noble families or cunning monsters which require infiltration in order to defeatYears ago, the Cat School betrayed the Wolf School by allying with the power-hungry mage Vilgefortz, leading to a massacre at Kaer Morhen and taking of hostages. Geralt and his companions assaulted Stygga Citadel to rescue Yennefer and Ciri, and though there were heavy losses on both sides, Geralt prevailed. In the wake of this conflict, the Lodge of Sorceresses destroyed Stygga Citadel with magic so the only legend surviving the events would best serve the Lodge. Whether or not Treyse, the leader of the school, died in the fighting was never confirmed, though the few remaining Witchers who inhabit Stygga Citadel have not seen him since.
