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 (including in Classic)
- Rogues: combo points (including in Classic)
- 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)

Ideal for pandaren monks, add a few new Hear Kitty sound options with an Asian flair.
hi! if it possible, add please an option to dissable finishing sound. (for classic)
In reply to b0tanics:
Hello! Can you tell me exactly how this would work, and a little bit about what this would be used for? (For example, is it the fifth tone that you'd want to remove, or the drums for when you go back to 0 combo points?) I'm guessing it's for a rogue talent, and I never played a rogue way-back-when so I'm not super familiar. I think I remember that someone wanted an option to make the fourth combo point sound like the fifth, but it's been a long time and I've forgotten the details. :)
In reply to TravisSpomer:
ty for reply.
I meant the sound when combo go back to 0 points (drums).
Becouse when i do a lot of finishing moves that becomes to be slighltly annoing when it drums for each (playing rogue). Especialy if u want to get rid of every unwanted sounds :)
For exemple, for me is enoght just to hear just only 5 combo sound (it works good), but there is no an option to dissable finishing move sound (5 > 0 combo).
In reply to b0tanics:
Got it; thanks for the info! I added it to my to-do list—can't promise when I'd get to it, but it's there. :) In the meantime, you can hack it by finding this file and deleting it:
World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\HearKitty\Symphony\0.ogg
You'll need to do that every time you update Hear Kitty, but I don't need to release Hear Kitty versions too often so hopefully that's not too much trouble. :)
Any chance you could upload this to Twitch? I keep trying to install it, but all the button does is open my Twitch app.
In reply to komododragoon87:
Hi! The addons here are what show up in the Twitch app; Twitch owns this site. If something appears to be going wrong with the installation your best bet would be to contact Twitch App Support.
Link to the sound pack seems to be dead.
In reply to WadeWolf:
Hi! Thanks for the heads-up—Curse is always moving things around and breaking links... got it fixed.
works!
I didn't know where else to report this to you - this is what happens in classic.
In reply to SilFriend:
Hi! This is the right place to report it. :) Hear Kitty 1.9.0 is now available, and it works in both regular and Classic WoW. You should be good as soon as you update!
I always loved this addon for my rogue. Is there any plans for a classic version?
In reply to GH05TWARR10R:
Hey—I do plan to look into it. I haven't investigated how combo points work in Classic, but I imagine it shouldn't be too complicated. Combo points for rogues and druids are simpler than the other combo point-like things, and those other resources don't really exist in Classic.
In reply to TravisSpomer:
I don't have a rogue/druid leveled high enough for testing; anyone want to try out 1.9.0 alpha 1 on WoW Classic and tell me if it works or not?
In reply to TravisSpomer:
Seems to work fine on my level 21 rogue.
not sure if these sounds are actually used by the addon or not, but in lines 88-89 of VgetCore.lua change the deprecated pathname strings to FilePathIDs to prevent errors in 8.2 if they are ever actually called
VgerCore.Sound.Bell = 567397 -- Sound\\Interface\\RaidWarning.ogg
VgerCore.Sound.Fanfare = 569487 -- Sound\\Spells\\NetherwindFocusImpact
In reply to speedwayst4r:
Good catch! They're not used, so I'll just remove them. Thanks!
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.
In reply to Modinstaller:
Hi! Sorry, Hear Kitty is only available for the live realms.
Looks like Blizzard changed the UnitAura method signature.
Line 573 in HearKitty.lua in the KittyAuraStacks method is this:
And it should be this:
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.
