Cats' Lair, also spelled as "Cats Lair" and "Cat's Lair", is a fictional residence and fortress featured in the ThunderCats multimedia franchise. It is a pivotal setting in all iterations of the franchise and first appeared in the 1985-1989 ThunderCats animated series.
Description[]
Located in the middle of a dense forest, Cat's Lair is the fortress home of the ThunderCats. It is a multi-story tower with the exterior upper level sculpted in the form of a panther. The eye pieces of the panther-head can project red beams of energy. Each member of the ThunderCats have their own personal sleeping quarters, except for Wilykit and Wilykat, who both share a bedroom. Other notable rooms include the swords room and the control center, as well as the garage, which is where the ThunderTank is staged and maintained.
History[]
Mumm-Ra once infiltrated Cats' Lair by posing as am injured Ro-Bear Berbil. The ever-gullible Snarf took him in and gave him a room, at which point, he used his powers to mentally enslave all of the ThunderCats (except for Lion-O, who had been away on a camping trip at the time). Snarf managed to escape and find Lion-O, but when they returned to the Lair, they found it completely deserted. Lion-O inspected each room, but found little except for evidence of a struggle (and numerous unitards in Cheetara's closet). When the mind-controlled ThunderCats suddenly appeared in the control room, Lion-O was forced to flee Cats' Lair. [1]
