   S2E29: Ocicat

   All about this Patronus form: Got its name from the ocelot It has romantic coloring labels Tends to have a “dog like personality” Ocicat is too new for its own folklore, but the ocelot has a ton! Ocelots were viewed as symbols of power Ocelots are a good reminder to be flexible in your thoughts to navigate life’s twists Personality Traits: Alert Agile Athletic Dedicate Extroverted Traveler Co-dependent Is this the Cat? Lucy thinks Umbridge shouldn't even have a cat, but we agree the ocicat might not be the best fit here. While we feel the cat’s personality fits McGonnagall better than Umbridge, does the timeline make it impossible? We’d love to hear from you!
