A shapeshifter, Harlequin comments on 'Cat' and his leonine friends
at one stage, have not read the right novel but this soul must be old,
i didn't think stripper was anywhere near this league.

which makes that guess rather unlikely. From the name 'jungle cat'
one would also expect a 'Jungle' type animal as 'Jungle Cat's' base
