cat

A symbol of a great cat, or a cat-a-mountain, which refers to a wildcat, signifies liberty, vigilance and courage. There is also a separate reference to a spotted cat. Cats can be in many different positions like the lion, but they are most often blazoned passant, walking with the right forepaw raised. A cat-a-mountain is supposed to always be guardant, or on guard, with the head completely facing the observer. Cats are most common in Scottish or Irish arms.
