Hear Kitty plays soothing and distinct orchestral sounds as you gain and spend your combat resources. It's like having your own theme music! You'll hear tones as you gain combo points or stacks of your buffs, and when you hear the final note played, you'll know it's time for a finishing move. Never watch for little red dots or buff stacks again!

These classes and specs work with Hear Kitty:

Druids (in cat form): combo points
Rogues: combo points
Elemental and Enhancement shamans: maelstrom
Paladins: holy power
Shadow priests: insanity
Warlocks: soul shards
Monks: chi
Arcane mages: arcane charges
Frost mages with Glacial Spike: icicles
Vehicles with combo points (such as the drakes in Eye of Eternity)

Additional downloads available

Hear Kitty official sound packs
These sound packs for Hear Kitty provide new sound effects so you can better customize Hear Kitty to your liking.

Mandolin sound pack by Gerudoku

Ideal for pandaren monks, add a few new Hear Kitty sound options with an Asian flair.

Where can I find the old versions ? I read in an archived post in 2009 (wotlk) about this addon but can't seem to find old files anywhere.

Looks like Blizzard changed the UnitAura method signature.

Line 573 in HearKitty.lua in the KittyAuraStacks method is this:

local BuffName, _, _, Stacks, _, _, _, _, _, _, ThisSpellID = UnitAura(Unit, i, Filters)

And it should be this:

local BuffName, _, Stacks, _, _, _, _, _, _, ThisSpellID = UnitAura(Unit, i, Filters)

After making this change, it works fine with mage icicles again (and presumably other combo-type mechanics that are indicated through stacking buffs).

I sent this to the maintainer, VgerAN, and hopefully it will find its way into a new release.

Hello! It seems like the addon is not working with frost mage icicles. Any heads up about it please?

Any chance you could add support for Vengeance Demon Hunter's Soul Fragments? Would love to have this for them.

Love the addon in general, wish there were more purely audio enhancements for WoW.

In reply to varylvintarum:

I probably could! I haven't really done anything with Vengeance; how would you like it to work? Just play the 0-5 tones based on the number on the buff? (I'm just going based on random forum threads; I don't know if the way Vengeance works has changed.)

It looks like Soul Fragments work a little differently from the other resources that Hear Kitty tracks, so it might not be a quick thing, but I can still look into it sometime.

In reply to VgerAN:

Yes, just following the buff count up to 5, I will note a few oddities on it that may cause issues, literally just moving out of range of them will cause the numbers to go down, and then moving back in range will bring them back up. And I've occasionally seen the count on the buff go to 6 even though everything says that after 5 any further ones are automatically absorbed.

Would be nice though, really do find the audio cues to be quite handy and Vengeance's rotation can get a bit busy so the audio reminders would be helpful.

It doesn't seem to be playing sound with pally's Holy power. I can hear the sound when picking which sound pack i need but just nothing when getting holy power also no lua errors popping up. Hope this helps :)

Loving this addon so far ! Just installed it and i was wondering if there's any way to disable sounds when you use all your combo points

In reply to r00dpanda:

Hi! Glad you're liking it. :) To clarify, the sound that you want to get rid of is the timpani "BUM-bum-BUM" drums when you hit 0, but you still want the 1-2-3-4-5 sounds, right?

A hacky solution would be to just delete the file named "0" in World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\HearKitty\Symphony. You'd probably have to re-delete that file each time you update Hear Kitty.

(Sorry for the delayed response! I went on a road trip and didn't have reliable internet access.)

Ah! If you only want to hear the tone when you hit 5 combo points, just look for the Only play a tone when resource is maxed option in Hear Kitty's options page. No file-deleting required.

I would like to thank you so much for this addon. Playing both my feral druid and rogue are so much easier. Listening for the sounds now is second nature. Terrific idea, terrific addon.

Hear Kitty is on by default after it's installed; the options are in Interface Options > AddOns > Hear Kitty. What class and spec are you? Not all specs are supported.
