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:
- Rogues: combo points (including in Classic)
- Druids (in cat form): combo points (including in Classic)
- Balance druids: astral power
- 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)

Any enhancement shamans on Wrath Classic want to try something for me? Get at least one stack of Maelstrom Weapon, and then paste this line of text into chat:
/dump KittyAuraStacks("player", "PLAYER HELPFUL", 53817)
Does the number of Maelstrom Weapon stacks you currently have show up in chat, or does something else happen?
In reply to TravisSpomer:
Alternately, I just released 1.9.5 beta 1 for Wrath Classic—enhancement shamans with Maelstrom Weapon, try that out and let me know if it works for you! (I haven't been able to test it myself because the PTR is down.)
Hoping you can get this up and running for enh shaman in WotLK classic. I used this addon back in the day and would love to use it again!
I'm trying to use Hear Kitty for Maelstrom weapon on my enhancement shaman in Wrath Beta, but it doesn't seem to be working. It is working for my feral druid. Any thoughts?
In reply to fezzcast:
Hi! Sorry, I don't have access to the Wrath beta right now and don't have a version for it ready yet. I'll make an update when I can though!
In reply to TravisSpomer:
Awesome! Not a problem at all, I was just wondering if my dumbass was screwing something up. Love the addon, keep up the good work!
Hi, would it be possible for you to host this addon on another site now that Overwolf requires us to download their spyware to manage addons through curse? It would be greatly appreciated.
In reply to Hobbes0773:
Hi! Sure, it's also available on Wago Addons and WoWInterface. Or GitHub if you're a super big nerd.
Is there anyway possible you can make this compatible with 3.3.5? I have tried all of the listed versions and none of them seem to work. If you need to know, its for the dalaran wow server
Is it possible to get the other sound packs added? When I set it to in game sound it's too quiet, but with just symphony it's too loud. On retail I use Symphony (quiet) and that's not an option for TBC unfortunately :(
Hey, can I request that an option for classic to toggle the sound off when not in combat? It seems like the current version doesn't have it and I'm running into the same issue with the sounds playing on respawn.
In reply to coredruid:
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. That's the top thing on my to-do list for the next time I can work on Hear Kitty.
In reply to TravisSpomer:
thank you, appreciate it. let me know if/how i can help.
possible to add counterattack for hunters in classic to the addon?
In reply to moggeman87:
Maybe! Can you tell me how you'd like it to work? What sounds would you expect to hear when which buffs change?
First of all, love the addon! These cues do so much more for me that any visual ever could.
Is there any way you could add Warrior's Whirlwind charges to this? Using Whirlwind is already like a waltz, you use it, get two single-target abilities to go multi, and repeat. Unfortunately I have trouble keeping the tempo up because sometimes you do not use those two charges directly after Whirlwind or even one right after another. Feel like Hear Kitty could fill that specific niche.
In reply to RoboTermite:
Hi! Sure, I could at least give it a try. I haven't tried warrior since Legion, so I'd need some help from you to come up with something that makes sense. Would it be something like this?
(Hear Kitty watches for the number of stacks of some whirlwind-related buff to change)
Whirlwind buff stacks: 2 -> I just used whirlwind, so play tone 1
Whirlwind buff stacks: 1 -> I just used one of my powered-up attacks, so play tone 2
Whirlwind buff stacks: 0 -> I just used my second powered-up attack OR the buff expired, so play the drums
Is that what you're looking for? Is this interaction only for a specific spec or talent?
Am I doing something wrong? It doesn't seem that this add-on works with Maelstrom Weapon at the moment. I'm so happy to see it still being updated since this add-on really completed my experience during WoD and now that I'm dusting off my Enhance Shaman I'd love to have this working along side... But it seems the music doesn't play whenever I get a stack. Any idea when we might get an update on that? Or am I doing something wrong?
In reply to AnUpsetZombie:
Hi! I removed the Maelstrom Weapon support a while back because that went away and was replaced with a Maelstrom resource, which Hear Kitty does support. But in 9.0 they removed Maelstrom and put Maelstrom Weapon stacks back, so I still need to put that stuff back in to Hear Kitty.
Due to CurseForge switching ownership there will be a bit of downtime in a week or so, and before then I'm avoiding releasing unnecessary updates so I don't accidentally break stuff without a way for people to go back to working versions. So it might be a couple of weeks before I can release a regular update for Hear Kitty—but if I get something working sooner, I'll share details on Facebook and people can update manually if they choose. Sorry for the bad news!
In reply to TravisSpomer:
Hey thanks for the quick reply, totally understandable! Huge fan of what you've done here with this add-on.
